His decisions are MUCH quicker this year. Ball falls to Pjanic and he takes off immediately into the space. And when he receives the ball between the lines, he knows where he is going immediately. Way fewer touches on the ball this year.
Save your energy for the bursts into the box. Taking 5, 6, 7 touches, spinning and spinning in midfield is such a waste. I don't know if it's the position or the coach or both but he looks razor sharp this year.
Awesome goal. Another great moment in the match was when he linked up with CR7 on a counter attack in the second half. CR7 was pulling that off so regularly during his last few years and United and the Mourinho days at Madrid.
He's been passing the ball well also, between him, CR7 and Gonzalo, we have 3 forwards that can do both, Lukaku can't pass worth a damn. Ronaldo would blow a fuse multiple times a game from piss poor Lukaku passes.
