I’ve just watched the Lazio/Bologna game from Sunday. SMS actually ended up playing most of the game in a makeshift CM2 because Lazio’s keeper got sent off early on. He actually did ok, in his trundly way, helped by Bologna going down to 10 men 30 mins later. Played a smart little through ball for the winner.
I’m terms of technical and raw productive ability, he’s probably better than Maddison, (one thing I forgot to mention is he’s strong on the ball and can actually move with it, hard to knock off it, but in terms of energy and age, he’s compromised.
If you're talking g/a I have serious doubts that if you swapped out Maddison for SMS at Leicester he'd be more productive .. in fact I imagine quite the opposite.
