Was damn sexy thatThe touch/dribble after the Romero handball in the box was wild. Think he’s going to be good for us for awhile.
I’ve replied in Paratici thread about the signings in general but I do agree that Bentancur looks a player.Him and Romero are excellent signings but sadly the only excellent signings under Don Paratici
Winks would take 5 seconds to make a decision and lose the ball with sloppy sideway and back passes. A master of making passes without intent and purpose, a cowardly man.Saw both the best and worst of him today. Some lovely defensive moments and some good stuff in possession, but if Winks had given the ball away on the edge of the box 3 or 4 times like he did there would've been calls for a lynching in the match thread.
Fingers crossed that was just him adjusting to the league and City's very heavy press but it is something Juve fans complained about so I think it's an area he needs to work on. Regardless he's still a big upgrade on Winks as he reads the game well defensively and gets stuck in, whereas Winks is like a ghost off the ball.
This guy is a full on baller. Proper quality on the ball and reading of the game. Dare I say it looks like he's going to be the best CM signing we've made since Dembele.
There were a few times when he was the defending by being the highest player on the pitch and harassing his man right back to the goalie. Love him. Love the fight in him.
