Don't think composure is what we need in midfield....have you seen how composed Gini is? He could perform open heart surgery with one hand on an ant while on crack cotaine and still have the confidence to knit a sweater with his other hand.
We do though need a midfielder with some strength and a proper goal threat from outside the box...the type of CM Can should be!
Yeah, perhaps you are right. Composure from Wijnaldum is not the problem, nor is it the problem for Lallana. The main problem is the ball distribution, a player that can really set the tempo.
Every time I have seen Grujic play, he just knows what to do with it, he doesn't dwell on the ball or take that extra touch when not necessary like Wijnaldum or Lallana. He doesn't play 99% safe passes like Hendo, and nor does he panic when pressed like Can.
What I love about Grujic is how how quick he shifts the ball in the middle, but also always demanding it too. Very similar to Lucas but a more mobile version and less defensive. I have a sneaky feeling he can be a beastly CM player.
