Great cynical foul vs Palace, looks like he has a tactical head on his shoulders as well
Probably Lichtsteiner offering some sage advice to an innocent youngster. Bit like in ancient Greece...

Elneny doesn’t really add anything to a midfield partnership, he’s literally your perfectly balanced CM that’s not really great at anything.i would like to see him and elneny play together.
I think it's because he's not necessarily a creative midfielder, though he can hit the pass more often than not if the opening is presented to him. I feel he hits more penetrative passes much better when he receives the ball very deep. Once he gets into the middle 3rd when it starts to get congested and his options are faint or marked, he ponders a little bit. I also think he closes off his options because he holds onto the ball so long. It's good if you need someone to slow down the tempo of the game, but part of being a dictator or controller is being able to change the tempo from slow to quick and vice versa. I don't feel that Guendouzi necessarily controls the rhythm of the game, ergo he is not that type of player. That doesn't mean he isn't or cannot be a major major talent as I think he's put in some really quality performances nonetheless - but I think people may have some misconceptions of the type of player he actually is and what to expect as a result.Honestly thought this game higlighted the things he has to work on. Drifts too far to the right , doesn't have a picture in his mind of what he wants to do and that's why he dithers on the ball .

Out of interest why do you think Doozy and Elneny would form a good pairing?
Sorry but this isn't true for Doozi. Where he lacks in his positioning he makes up for in tenacity. He's got a great eye for a pass too, threaded a couple through on goal in recent weeks too. Doesn't dilly daddle on the ball either, keeps it moving.two players who are similar, as in they are not particularly good at anything...maybe they would balance each other. Also wanted to compare both side by side, as they are the two options for that role.
A one man midfield?I don’t want to see Elneny partnered with anyone
Can see him being the leader of our team in 3-4 years. Think the boy is going to be special.Got to say Matteo is a bit of class act , first player to wish Wele well on the stretcher .
