Youri Tielemans

[eamonn]

His fitness levels seem to have gone up a level. Like Meatball, I don't think they're natural athletes so when they retire the pot bellies will quickly appear but for now, they're fit as fcuk (not in a sexual way).

Every player improves significantly under Emery. It’s remarkable.

It really is.  There’s a few rough diamonds in the squad too.  If they listen then there’s a good chance they’ll dramatically improve.

Apparently he made the most accurate passes in a Premier League game so far this season;

… and one of his few inaccurate ones set up the equaliser.

The best stat I’ve heard about Saturday is that Youri had 15% possession in the game.

Given Everton only had 27.1% across 90mins, (I think I heard it was 20% at one point?) that’s pretty remarkable if true.

Tielemans and Torres had 27.6% between them according to whoscored.

Now THAT is a stat!

[Hookeysmith]

Im sure i heard that Tielemans had as many or even more touches than the entire Everton team

He was superb

Dougie who?

After 10 minutes it was 84%/16%.

When he signed , it was clear to me he was the Luiz upgrade . He's on another level to Luiz . That ball through for goal 2 to Digne was superb .

[OCD]

Meanwhile Luiz continues to struggle at Juve. Moved to the left at the weekend apparently and looking a shadow of his former self according to the media.

That's a shame.

Yawn.

[PaulWinch again]

He’s playing really well and has a great eye for a pass. I think he’s quite a different player to Doug, so not really sure why the comparison is being made. Although on the basis of Tim’s recent assessment of players, it’s probably a spurious take.

[Risso]

I think it's fair to say that Tielemans is currently playing at a much higher level than Luiz did from January onwards for us. That's not to downplay what Doug did overall in his career for us, but he definitely went off the boil, and it doesn't sound like he's got going at Juvntus yet.
