2019/21 Takehiro Tomiyasu @ Bologna Football Club 1909 (ITA)

It was in the game against Brescia when Bani was injured.

I watched few minutes of the match before going to a meeting. Yes, he is doing, albeit he has to develop his communication with other CB.

 

According to Sofascore.com, he is rated as the 2nd best player of his team in today's match, though I don't how that website based their ratings on.

 

Disagree, he was pretty good to me.

 

Not easy to track both the ball holder and the player running in his back at the same time, I wouldn't say he has any heavy responsibility in the goal, it's just the result of the play's circumstances.
And yeah he waa beaten once in the air. It happens.

In the meantime, many good interceptions, good positioning, he handled his opponent correctly and his passes were excellent.

 

Not at fault either. If there's a fault, it's the black guy at the start (Denswil ?) who overcomitted and got eliminated too quickly.

Otherwise football is just a succession of mistakes.

 

Yeah, also because Krejcl is a winger and he started a left-back. Maybe too many injuries?

 

Wtf are you talking about....? The substitution was requested by Tomiyasu himself, not the manager because of a minor muscle problem. Gazzetta gave him an above average rating (6.5). Please do some research before posting nonsense.

 

Starts as a right-back today against Napoli:

Bologna recoded an unlikely 1-2 away win against Napoli with Tomiyasu playing the full match.

21 years-old. 188cm. Skilled on the ball. Surging runs. Great read of the game. A wall to get passed.

Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly keen on signing Tomiyasu during this January’s transfer window for 12-13 million euros.

However, Bologna and Siniša Mihajlović are not willing to let him go.

In this market, he's worth at least 30 millions ...

 

Recorded his first assist today against Atalanta. The game ended 2-1 for Bologna.

 

His assist:

Stay away from Bundesliga please, even if it was Munich.
He's a better level and Serie A (that I criticize a lot as a league) can extremely improve his defensive skill as a CB and FB as well.

 

EPL suits him more imo. If he can keep up his current level, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in maybe Chelsea, Tottenham and Man Utd etc.

 

ManUtd actually is a sinkhole. Stay away.
And he need to move step by step. From Bologna to Chelsea is simply nosense.

 

How about to Southampton as a replacement to Yoshida?

 

Tomiyasu one of the top players in Serie A according to advanced metrics.

If Tomiyasu continues to develop, and Minamino leaves a positive impression, it's not a surprise for Liverpool to purchase him. Backup/replace for aging Lovren, can play in both CB and RB, what's not to like?
