William Carvalho

[ToffeeTim]

Have been impressed here. He's matching Busquets in there who is legit world class.

Reads the game well is my impression. Rarely finds himself wrong side.

 

[Mickey]

Looks composed, neat and tidy but not very creative or dynamic.

 

[Manx Blue]

Slow, cumbersome, awkward ......

Sort of a Black Honey Monster.

If players judged Messi based on his international performances you would not think he was anywhere near the talent he is.

Judge a player on club performances as international games can be deceiving- some players tend to either be really good in club competitions or vice versa and have a good scoring rate for the national team for example but poor for their club.

Mate, his club performance is not much different. There are loads of full club match replay clips all over the internet, pick half a dozen games to watch and it’s almost identical.

I’m confused.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Yeah has that annoying midget Iniesta in his pocket this half

 

[COYBL25]

I’m confused.

To summarise : It`s like they`ve given the fella from the Green Mile a Portugal kit and told him to plod around and get in the way.

 

[Zezti]

He looks great. Denies space, wins the ball and great passing.

Basically, from what Ive seen, what both sides are saying on here is true about him. First, hes slow, awkward, and seems to not give much effort. Second, he has really good position, and is smart, so hes almost always in position and doesnt need to move too far. But when he gets out of position he makes little effort to recover. But he rarely gets out of position.

He owns the centre circle

 

[Groucho]

I’d swerve on this showing.

 

[buskwhi2]

To be fair he doesn’t give the ball away.

There. I’ve said something nice about him

Edit. 10 seconds later he watches iniesta walk past him.
Don’t think he’s going to be hunting the ball back quickly

 

[COYBL25]

He owns the centre circle

Only because he`s got a tent set up in it lol

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Hahaha

 

[buskwhi2]

Haven’t seen him break into one single sprint yet. I’m not sure he’s capable of one
