It’s hard not to though, definitely in the same mould as Hayden. Early doors though — there I’m talking him down lolDon't talk him up.
Some of our fans will demand he is sold to a mid table prem team for a lion bar and set of goal nets.
Said exactly the same to my son.Reminded me a bit of Hackney actually. Very comfortable on the ball and receiving it on the turn and happy to carry it as well. We are potentially stocked with midfield riches in the academy.
Weirdly I thought Greenwood looked decent when he came on! That cameo was the best he's played for a while!Really good performance and nice to see Howson give him a pat on the back when he went off, I dont personally see us signing oBrien or Greenwood and id expect to see a lot more from Law next season
Agree with that too.Weirdly I thought Greenwood looked decent when he came on! That cameo was the best he's played for a while!
This maybe the problem (lightweight) with our midfield, we’re obviously nice on the eye. Perhaps in the summer recruitment drive we need to find a player with height and a stronger presence in midfield although I kind of like us looking like the Barcelona of the championship! lolReally impressive debut for the lad. I watched him closely for the first half hour or so. Right in the centre of the team, not an easy place but he had Johnny (I guess) talking him through the game? He was comfortable on the ball, got his head up and passed well, showed for the ball didn't hide and made only very minor errors. After that I sort of forgot he was playing because he had just slotted in. Can't ask any more. He's a bit lightweight so he struggled a little with the physical side of things but that will come.
At times this season we have lacked that bite in midfield, a ball winning DM for the ugly games should definitely be on the shopping list this summer.This maybe the problem (lightweight) with our midfield, we’re obviously nice on the eye.

You can still be a ball winner and a good footballer. Just need to find a young Bryan Robson!Michael Carrick will never sign a ball winning midfielder. In the Utd team he played in he was often the defensive midfielder. Throughout his time at the Boro he has looked to play footballers in that position.
Who was the midfield player we had in the Pulis era on loan I think he was an Everton player. He would get stuck but was still quite A technical player?You can still be a ball winner and a good footballer. Just need to find a young Bryan Robson!

That's the fella. Someone like him would be ideal in this system.Besic
