What impresses me most isn’t just his control in tight spaces, but that he wants the ball in those situations. His calmness is insane for someone his age.
Funny how Pogba was his role model because that is the feel he gives. Very comfy under pressure I'm tight spaces. His control and ability ensure he will always have time and space.
Weirdest things for me; - his game is already pretty much complete (and for a box-to-box CM that is insane given the broad demands of that role) - he is already pretty much a consistent 8 out of 10 most games (something you usually only see from mature, experience top-level professionals) That level of completeness and consistency is just freakish and unheard of at 18. He looks the finished article already and really shouldn't at his age / experience. He looks like a £100 million value player already Desperately hope he keeps this up next season but aside from some apparent tiredness a few weeks back there has been no drop off in quality yet.
