Was very impressed with him against Liverpool. Defensively solid and tactically excellent player. His passing is nothing special though.
That said I don't think we ever had a specialist midfielder like him in the club before. Even our DMs like Matic and Carrick were a hybrid of a deep-lying playmaker/ball-winner. Those are the type of players we should be looking at. And if Ole were to persist with the double pivot midfield I don't think he would be the correct fit at the club. He seems to thrive only in that specific role at the tip of the inverted midfield triangle.
