I mean, do they even watch him? He is a ball winner, he is the best at it pretty much these days. Just this recent game he held down the middle on his own winning 3 tackles for every one tackle any other player wins. Our ball retention would be impressive with having DM like that even if he lacks technique, simply because we would easily get back possession. Granted our midfield is kinda crowded in starters for now, but I'm talking about comparing to Lemina, its not even close right now.
I really like Lemina and he is a fine backup player, but being more well rounded means squat if your overall impact is not close to a top specialist ball winner like Kante.
