Manberg Again
Great first half. Started off superbly. Poor second. His dropping off is a common thing for him though. I don’t know if it’s physical or mental.
2 assists today? Either way a very good performance sometimes he over doing it with the dribbling but i like he trying to give competition to xhaka and Partey
Yep, hasn't done anywhere near enough to warrant a permanent signing for me.Pretty good game but it has taken half a season to come. This is his 2nd season with us and he ultimately has not good enough. Mikel will probably sign him though. Fan standards have dropped if you guys want him permanently
I like him but yeah he hasn’t done enough for a permanent contract. If anything he’s gone backwards unfortunately, just didn’t get the minutes in the end.Pretty good game but it has taken half a season to come.

He is actually our best defensive player, much better than Xhaka and Elneny. Not sure where this comes from tbh. His problem was always a lack of consistency in passing, one game he is Iniesta, and the next he turns into Elneny.He's quite easily the most underrated player around here. Really would like to see him with Thomas as his partner as @Macho says.
Does need to improve defensively, though, if he can improve his defensive awareness and consistency to the level of Xhaka then he certainly should keep him out of the team as this project continues to evolve.
That's silly reasoning. Why waste £15m on a player you don't consider good enough for a starting XI CL side?For me it depends on the fee. Less than £15m and I’m for it. Not more.
Truth be told, he was better than some of the guys we have. There were patches when he was much better than Xhaka and was our only reliable player on the ball. Things have changed with Partey being here and with the introduction of ESR, his skills are not needed as much as they were before.I like him but yeah he hasn’t done enough for a permanent contract.

Paying low fees for squaddies is what gets you a bloated mediocre squad.
