That was certainly not the best game I've seen him have but how can some of you not be impressed by what you saw.
This kid is a head up performer, impeccable first touch, two foted, rarely gives the ball away. Glides round the pitch looking to receive and get on the ball. Tonight was a tough game facing the hosts. Croatia played 442 which - as you all know from watching us - means your two CM's need to graft and get assistance from the wide two and front two.
I'm impressed nearly every time I see Modric. I can't believe how lucky we are to have signed him. He is the classiest, most intelligent footballer we have signed for many many years - possibly since Ossie Ardiles.
