Amazed we have kept in for 5 seasons, thought would get 2, possibly 3 best case before one of the champion league clubs came in for him
I think because he so often gets the assist for the assist he goes under the radarAmazed we have kept in for 5 seasons, thought would get 2, possibly 3 best case before one of the champion league clubs came in for him
Don’t really want him missing any game. Burnley is far more winnable with him in the team. We’re probably losing to Liverpool and City regardless so may as well be one of themMaybe take it at Norwich and miss Burnley?
I was surprised Pep went for Philips rather than Neves in the summer.I'm surprised that a serious offer has never materialised. The amount of times he has oozed class and dominated games against higher ranked opponents yet from what I can recall there has not been much in the way of rumours of him leaving to join one of the sky six.
This is why stats are bollocks.I guess because he's never been a regular scorer/assister? It's the only thing I can think. His underlying numbers are generally pretty high but his "creative" stats... not so much.
Means he lives in a statistical no-man's land where he's seen as solid but not vicious enough to be a true ball-winner and but equally not creative enough to consistently affect his side's goal scoring record.
That's not to say he's poor, obviously, nor that I agree with the above statement.
Thought we'd get at best two out of him.
Same with Joao.
