The role fits because he gets up there to link with ADM and takes the creative burden off him whilst he has the guile to mix in with Pogba and Loca. Just love the determination too, it’s what we need more than anything.
Hope this is his year because this set up is pretty much perfect for him.

I think Loca was always going to play more of a holding and covering role with Pogba in the team anyway. Pogba has got presence too. But Fags showed that he can mix in and get involved in that phase too.
Short players in the mould of Veratti and Iniesta are always great at intercepting and making tackles in tight spaces to turn the ball over.
From what I saw of Zakira and Rovella today, I’d rather have a player of quality than the DM of the level that they both represent. They’re honestly average.

Fagioli really improved in the defensive phase with Cremonese this season. He averaged 1.5 tackles per game and also won over 50% of ground duels. He’s not some wall but he’s also not a liability. Modric hovers around 50% on ground duels as well, so if he can translate that to serie A he’ll be fine.
