Lucas Torreira: Garra Charrua

[OnlyOne]

Could watch his celebration over and over and over.

 

[yybecause]

still crying...

 

[Tosker]

He has his own thread on RedCafe forum, and it's safe to say most posters are very envious

Not sure if moving to Bayern would even be an upgrade anymore, they're so unambitious, they might get back to winning Bundesligas but they're not doing anything in the CL anytime soon.

Do not fear. Uli will call Audi, Allianz and Adidas again to hand them a nice little paycheck in addition to their famous stacked "Festgeldkonto" (fixed deposit acount) just like the last time they ended up in the Europa League to get in some juicy players

 

[Mark Tobias]

My favourite player right now. Passion, talent and everything else we look for in a legend.

At last, somebody worthy of Paddy's throne.

I said it before, but it needs to be said again I really REALLY need Elneny to come off the #4 shirt for Lucas.

 

[Jasard]

Do I get my first shirt in over a decade with his name on when Adidas come in? Hmmm, hope they look good

ElNeny to elsewhere
Torreira to 4
Nelson back and to 11

 

[Mitch]

I really don't get this obsession with shirt numbers, what does it matter what number a player has?

Anyway Torreira has been brilliant so far for us and is currently out peforming the likes of Fred, Matic, Fabinho, Jorginho, Kante and Fernandinho.

I'm buying his shirt when we get the new Adidas kit. What a guy..

 

[tap-in]

He's been getting close to scoring recently, I think we'll see more of them now. Absolutely brilliant player, love everything about him but still feel we need a better player than Xhaka next to him.

Yeah, just hope the yellow doesn't come back to haunt him, he could miss a vital game later in the season due to taking his shirt off. Having said that I guess its an in the moment thing and shows his passion. I like to think he did it because it was Sp**s, if so he's learning fast

With him next to Xhaka, Xhaka has become a much better player. At this point I won't replace him with anyone.

Said it in the Xhaka thread, that for all the praise the Liverpool and Sp**s high energy, physical, dominant, midfields get - Xhaka and Torreira have bossed both of them now.
They're working brilliantly as a partnership and compliment each other perfectly.

He was already being polite by not taking off his shorts. The size of his balls would have scared any one. Sp**s found out about that.

True. A lot of us seem to forget that things are done in training that are invaluable to a team, especially when you have two players who are understanding each other. It's obvious that whatever Xhaka and Lucas are doing together to make them a better pair is working. No need to replace either of them just for the sake of it. And besides, Xhaka is an excellent footballer. What he lacked under Wenger was his awareness and ability to sense danger. It's been improved since Emery is here.

Xhaka is a good player. You won’t play pirlo without having a gattusso. And that’s the same with xhaka. Xhaka didn’t improve, it’s just that he can play his normal game with torreira next to him.

Are you really comparing Xhaka with Pirlo? Having said that, I’m one of Xhaka’s biggest critics and he’s definitely improved. He has a lot less defensive work to do because of Torreira and can focus on his strengths.

In terms of playing style, yes, he is a deep lying playmaker, similar to pirlo, xabi alonso and xavi. Not ability-wise you fool. You are just trying to completely ignore what I actually mean aren’t you?

He didn’t improve as a player at all. He was always a good player, an excellent passer and long shooter. Nothing in him had changed. He didn’t get quicker, he didn’t get stronger, or becoming more technical or anything.

It’s just our new tactical set up makes him plays better. Letting him to plays his normal game as a deep lying playmaker (like pirlo, xabi alonso and Xavi) rather than mid-using him as a defensive midfielder (like gattusso, makelele).

And what you’ve just posted was just a repeat of what I meant. So I assume you did that on purpose, just trying to prove that I’m incorrect on any comment I’ve made, when in fact, we were actually posting the same exact thing.
