The one player I can't wait to see once everyone's back in the ground.
He should be fit by then!!
110% agree with you. The few minutes he played I was just in awe. Even a simple pass looks great when it's coming out of his foot. Everything he does is so gracious and seems to be calculated for best efficiency.
With guys like Mo, Sadio, Bobby and Jota upfront, once he's back, it won't be a problem to finish games off and breaking dead locks. That Everton game was perfect example of it.
He also solves a lot of problems. A 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 with him in the middle will be a seamless transition because how good he is at pressing and then beating the press once he's got the ball back. I would love to see a 4-2-3-1 with him and Hendo as the pivots and Gini in the hole behind the striker.
