i wonder if starting ekdal over tiago would be better? ekdal impressed me a little, he seems more posed than tiago. I want to see what ekdal is capable of producing
ekdal does play the first time balls very often, so he keeps the flow of the game going. that also means he has a good vision, because he knows where he is going to play the ball even before he gets it.
tiago is another case ... he receives the ball and "dribbles" a few metres and waits for someone to make a run ... i am still not comfortable seeing him in our midfield, because for someone who is supposed to make our play he is way to passive. i mean you can see that he is upset sometimes when he does not get the ball in midfield, but a real playmaker would just come so close to the player that has the ball, that he must give it to him...
but i guess we should be happy that he was not a completely disaster this time and hope someone saw this game and wants to buy him
