Told you guys years ago we were wasting time with Brazilian fetishes, Africa has a lot of raw talent which we need to tap into... I'm glad to see Frank and Ismael dominating our midfield, hoping for more to come...

Yeah I mean their teams only won the most amount of world cups ever and their players have won the most amount of WOPY's and Golden Balls out of any country (because football is basically a religion there)...I mean who the fuck wants that? :D

It's true. We can adjust without Ibra, but without Benny we suck ballz. He's monumental both in recovering balls as well as constructing the offensive phase. I never dreamed of having such a player in the last 10 years.

Only thing missing now is for him to improve his FKs, but I don't expect that from him. Wouldn't hurt to add some height too, but he's doing fine without that :)

Brazilian players tens to wear our before 28. They used to be great but not anymore.

Losing 7 0 at home in the world cup should indicate their level of talent. anyway in the post 2010 era, Spain, France and Africa in have produced far better talents.

Gone are the days of golden Brazilian teams.

Hell colombia have produced some crazy talent in recent years.

We're playing with fire by having that ?50m release clause active by next summer. Will be worth far more than that.

Maldini negotiated the deal incredibly well. ?16m + bonuses, 5-year contract, wages at ?1.5m/yr. Only blemish is the release clause.

Hoping we can double his wages to add an extra year to the contract while removing the clause.

Had a switch pass out to the left today that was just heavenly
- Also that immaculate slide tackle in the box

I honestly had misgivings about his lack of pace and if it would be an issue when he first arrived but now his awareness and confidence are on another level. He doesnt commit bad tackles and rarely loses the ball cheaply; pushes forward at the right time and is just playing so well.

Africa is not a country bruh

Who in their right mind would want to leave this team? He'll extend, no worries... and gonna win CL here.

What lack of pace? This guy is power and turbo .. he also changes direction so quick and has a deft first touch

you and I will never be apart
my dreams came true because of you

Rarely seen a relatively short player extend his legs to dribble or recover the ball so elegantly like a gazelle .
This year he added long passes to his arsenal. Playing more calm, no more stupid yellow cards.

I like the description I saw somewhere - phosphor. He radiates in a good way. In the middle of everything.

Bit too long to release the ball, need to improve shooting from outside the box.

He's starting to frustrate me a bit with those long shots, especially when there are options to pass.

What's the injury status?

yes and no.
yes because some of his shots look like unprepared/rushed and pointless,
no because we lack shots/goals from our midfielders running into the box.

You need to understand when it's a good moment to shoot and when not... and analyze how that's working out for you. Otherwise, you can go full KPB10

looks like he will miss the remaining match of the year and be back after the break

i feared it might be worse, 3 matches is not a big deal albeit being tough ones vs Lazio and sassuolo

Those were good moments to shoot. Just the technique was terrible.
