If yesterdays match happened 6 months ago I'm 95% certain he'd have two-footed someone before we were even 0-3 down. I said after the Chelsea match he's a liability because you can't have your centre back being so prone to losing their head, really important for us that he's sorted himself out.
I know Ange has talked in the past about 'copying Pep'
If you look back to how they often lined up with Cancelo (Porro) playing high up the pitch as a left (right) inside attacking playmaker with Grealish (Kulu) holding the width outside of him. On the opposite side Walker (VdV) sits deeper and...

Brennan, wow I've been wrong about...

Pretty much everyone played well, only concerning performances for me was Kulu who still keeps lacking incisiveness in the final third imo and Bissouma who had a few...
He's probably our best 1v1 dribbler out wide as well as being our best central playmaker. A couple of stunning assists vs Arsenal and then yesterday coming from beating his man and going on the outside to the byline.
Seems to have a great head on his shoulders, never seems to get involved in any controversy on the pitch, just focused on his job and he's been brilliant this season.
