It's hard to bring balance to a midfield without a player of his profile. And we've always had one, in recent history. Davids, Emerson, Sissoko (lol), Vidal and now Blaise.
I'm honestly starting to get used to his bad first touch and when he makes a bad pass. Like, I'm not angry about it anymore, because I know he makes up for it in other areas.
Blaise is a guy you want to show as example for young players, literally gives it all each and every game. Not enough for tuz, but nothing is enough for tuz.
"Matuidi’s the archetypal, useful player on the pitch: he has extraordinary dynamism and physicality and he’s someone who understands situations and knows how to make himself available."
Insane how bad his technical ability is with the ball. But God he has an engine on him and that + his technical awareness more than negates his horrible technique.
