Keeping possession isn't the same as keeping the ball Modric never ran around winning tackles but NEVER gave up possession. Think Tony is correct tackling is entry level you must have more.
This is the Brennan Johnson defence. If you think those stats are enough upside for the obvious downside that are significantly contributing to how poor our overall ball progression is....by all means enjoy away suck it up.
He was excellent. His tackles are phenomenal at times.
Why are they letting him go only a year after spending over £50mil on him?
But that is his skill set, he tackles, disrupts and gives the ball to someone who can do other things.
He’s Adama Traore in defensive midfielder form.
Players scores goal and people over exaggerate, more to come on this breaking story.People think this guy isn't good enough for us. Brilliant player and not just for his ball winning.
We’re very shit though.People think this guy isn't good enough for us
See that's the problem all you've seen is the goal scored and not the other stuff. But because he doesn't throw 4 step overs and dribble past 3 players he's pony. The guy can play and is more dependable than any of the other shit we have in the middle atm.
If he has one good game out of 10, he's still not good enough. We had all of the ball, on the front foot, his non ability isn't as glaring when there's no pressure on him when he has the ball. When were against good sides that press, he is a shambles.
