The idea of aggression (wich we lack with vidal gone, Stu is great as a duel guy, but isnt that aggressively forward pressing beast), combined with technical ability is something that i really would like to see.
Khedira when playing well and isnt injured again, is great and all, but when you face FC PassALOT, you need that player who can press and be aggressive like fuck, but can actually hold the ball when he retains it under pressure and doesnt straight up loses it. Currently, only Pogba is actually really good at that, but he isnt a forward aggressive pressing player.
True true, that's precisely why I am eager to see him play more. Well rounded dynamic DMs are necessary now, and he is so more then Sturaro and Khedira a bit.
Remember he was injured and possibly not even up to full fitness. Also its not like Pogba being out. He doesnt know the system because he was still learning and now hasnt been a part of the team for 5 months
Romulo was 28 and considered a player in his "prime" who was a versatile tool for the coach.
Lemina was considered a great prospect for the future that could allready rotate with the big guys.
If he shows some of the promise of that talent in the time he'll receive in training and games, we will redeem him.
