The biggest problem with Reijnders at the beginning was that his positioning in defense was not bad, but horrendous. Cost us several goals. His qualities lie obviously in his offensive skills and that's more how we started to use him. That's another reason why I never understood Felix' arrival. Completely unnecessary. Not only did we see a less offensive Reijnders, but now he also had to do more defensive work again suddenly, playing in a deeper role. Something he really sucks at. The fact Conceicao didn't see this, means he was only focused on HIS gameplay without considering what the team actually needed.
At City Reijnders will mainly play that offensive role, I suppose. Otherwise Pep will know what to do during training.
Yeah sorry but no, you are wrong
We played Reijnders as trequartista several times and he failed
He's not good at either CM/DM or as CAM
He's good at scoring goals, this is his only quality
He is not a creative player
I'm not convinced he will be a key player/starter at City, he will be a rotational player
Unless he explodes and improves all of a sudden, which is highly doubtful because he will be 27 soon
