William Carvalho

He runs the show. Great range of passing, vision, positioning. He's just slow. But so was Pirlo and he was the master playmaker.

I’d be interested in finding out stats for the game in terms of number of passes etc. He didn’t seem involved much for someone running the show.

No he isn’t just slow. Once the ball is play behind him, no matter if it’s 3 yards or 10 yards, he simply give up and jogs back, his primary job is to retrieve the ball and break up play but he plays as if he’s a center foward.

The comparison with Pirlo is silly. Pirlo creates chances out of nothing, Williams just passes it around without any threat whatsoever.
 
Heres the thing, I think Carvahlo can be very good in the right side.

And I think he would be horrible with us. His strengths are his good positioning and smarts, his weaknesses are that he doesnt make recovery runs and doesnt move much. He fits well in a side that dominates possession and does a slow possession buildup and where he rarely has to run back quickly. He will most likely do poorly in a team that has to stop counter attacks and doesnt spend 60-70% of the game in possession.
 
Jo has been capped over 20 times for Brazil and went to a World Cup as well as winning the confederations cup

He was bang crap as well
Jo is loved in Brazil. They love players playing in Brazil, where he has done well since going back there. They also went through a spell where all of their strikers played like Kevin Davies.
 
I could live with the lack of pace if he tried.... Its his lack of enthusiasm in a world cup match against some of the best players in the world that puts me off.
 
He looks like Lukaku in his last games under Martinez. Pedestrian pace. Big no.
Rather prefer we sign a box to box midfielder and play Ghana or Schneiderlin as our defensive midfielder
