Agree with everything you've said. He played a CB for awhile, and I think it will take him a bit to adjust to the new role. But a midfielder who knows how to defend, that's awesome.After watching him play against Bale and against Hazard I don't understand how anyone can not be excited about Besic. Isn't Origi supposed to have crazy speed? But Origi couldn't outpace Besic in a 1v1 in space on the left wing. Only thing about Besic is he looks a bit lost in the attacking third, but in the other two thirds of the pitch he's all sorts of useful.
Speed, work ethic, skill on the ball, crossing.. he's got a lot going for him. Let's not forget the psychological factor. I bet players [Poor language removed] themselves when they are his marked man.
