Aside from a good string of wins last season in which we seemed defensively more solid due to the 3 at the back formation everything following the trashing that came at the end of that run once it got figured out went completely downhill and resembled nothing but a failed idea that we desperately hanged on and somehow still do despite not even being properly equipped for it.
Be nice to see him start tackling like that consistently. It’s strange he’s never really been much of a ball-winner, given his tenacity and running… never averaged more than 1.8 tackles/90 in a season before.

yeah, 4.6 is vidal territory (i'm walking on thin ice here giving new ideas to bjerknes), but the sample size is too small. i guess he'll be down below 2.5 by the end of the season. happy to be proven wrong.

They're wrong. He has 4.6 tackles per 90 minutes, not per game.
Per game it's 2.33 or something.
With so few matches/minutes played, this means nothing. Yildiz has 6.4 tackles per 90 minutes, but it means fuck all, since the kid played only 14 minutes and he made only 1 (successful) tackle. But I admit that 7/7 tackles in 137 minutes is excellent.
Imo, it takes at least 900 minutes (equivalent of 10 full matches) for this kind of stats to become meaningful.
isn't it true to the good majority of our squad though
gatti, danilo, perin, pinso and bremer aren't boys, chiesa also has some healthy drive of a proper athlete, the rest would need to toughen up. i'd take back tevez and licht just for their vibes.

dude i would love it he turns it around and becomes a successufl dm for this club.
nothing like a underdog success story. being unwanted and laughed at for being bad then turning into a useful player is a dream for many fringe players.
