Did God's work tonight
DM usually. Played like an AM tonight though.Made himself a Utd hero without even kicking a ball for this club. What position does this guy play in midfield?
Simeone has also used him out right, but I was hoping we'd sign him to pair with Fred, yeah. His mobility he showed going forward yesterday would be a nice fit. He's not Kante but he's not Matic either in terms of pace.DM usually. Played like an AM tonight though.
Weird isn't it, apparently this guy's only ever scored like 2-3 goals in his whole careerThere's no way he is a densive mid right? That second goal was awesome. He was surrounded by three defenders, didn't panic and used one man as a shield to curl it around. I crown thee, Sir Marcos the scouse slayer.
This.Signing of the season for us
That's every game for Adrian thoughWeird isn't it, apparently this guy's only ever scored like 2-3 goals in his whole career
If you'd have told me that was Joao Felix who was bought for £120m I would have believed you, he looked fantastic when he came on. The assist for Morata also, beautiful 1-2 and a perfectly weighted pass.
I guess sometimes people just have a great day and everything goes right (or wrong in Adrians case).
Yeah. We’ve clearly been monitoring him since his Real days. Very good player as I said, but £68.5m is, while spent on a player definitely better than anyone bar Pogba in our midfield, absolutely ridiculous.Linked with him last season from what I recall.
I've read other followers/fans of his insinuate that by saying he's the Spanish Goretzka. Can anyone else say if that's a fair assessment? (I'd really love Goretzka by the way, but it's impossible).One view is that he looks great in Spain because of his power, but that might not stand out so much in the Premier League. I’m not sure how good he is, looks decent enough.
Cheers Michael Owen.Linked with him last season from what I recall.
Is he not a proper DM though? (I’ve not seen much of him.)He'd suffer the same fate as Van de Beek if our plan is to stick with the double pivot.
My assessment of him from 15 months ago was bang on, then - 19 goals / assists from midfield this season!From limited viewings, he's very capable in the holding role in a 4-3-3, but has struggled to adapt to playing in the double-pivot at Atletico (mostly because he's not dynamic enough and doesn't really contribute going forwards).
Could definitely do a job anchoring the midfield for us, though.
I think one of the only 2 threads i've created last year was about Goretzka. Imho, he's on the way to be one of GOAT central midfielder.I've read other followers/fans of his insinuate that by saying he's the Spanish Goretzka. Can anyone else say if that's a fair assessment?

Yes. This thread is about the Spanish Goretzka.Goretzka is German
:-)
Bleugh, didn't spot the white text...Yes. This thread is about the Spanish Goretzka.
That's exactly what was said of him in our fixtures against him. His physicality he used in Spain was non existent vs us and he looked average.One view is that he looks great in Spain because of his power, but that might not stand out so much in the Premier League. I’m not sure how good he is, looks decent enough.
His best form has been as an offensive player being the most advanced midfielder. He’s pretty much a better version of McTominay.Is he not a proper DM though? (I’ve not seen much of him.)
But can you compare the two?I think one of the only 2 threads i've created last year was about Goretzka. Imho, he's on the way to be one of GOAT central midfielder.
Dang, I'd love us having Goretzka like in CM.
Ah that’s not ideal for us. I just want a feckin proper, actual, DM.His best form has been as an offensive player being the most advanced midfielder. He’s pretty much a better version of McTominay.
If anything he is very likely to get more game times than VDB because he is nothing like VDB but basically more like McTominay with more technical attribute and versatile.He'd suffer the same fate as Van de Beek if our plan is to stick with the double pivot.
I doubt that. He is quite comfortable in a double pivot or elsewhere.. Plus he was raised in team that plays tank war far compared to our fotballHe'd suffer the same fate as Van de Beek if our plan is to stick with the double pivot.
