I agree. His first start in months against arguably the best team in the world. I thought he did really well.

He's always moving, hunting the ball down. Luiz, by comparison, just shuffles about, watches it and tires to block or intercept (and often gives silly fouls away 20-25 yards out.
The fact that we look better with a proper DM shows how valuable the position is to the way Gerrard wants us to play. Nakamba has done very well for us but in truth he should be no more than the back up DM. We need to get ourselves a really good one.
Literally stealing a living as a professional footballer. I expect players to be at least be able to find a team mate with a simple pass or not give away the ball away in dangerous positions, but he’s guilty of this more often than not and puts unnecessary pressure on our defence time and time again. Simply not good enough. Get rid.And that’s not “baiting” or “hounding”…it’s just my honest opinion on him.

From your comments today, it’s quite clear that you do fancy him. “Vitriol” is hyperbolic nonsense but if you think it seeps from my words then that’s because I say it as I see it, and call out a turd when I see a turd. On the other hand, you think he was the “pick of the midfield by a country mile” and I would say that “delusion” seeps from your words.
