Tielemans is miles better than Luiz.

Totally agree.

Part of our problem is not having a similar player to Kamara. Onana isn't it, never has been either. So judging him on trying to cover a position that's not his means he'll never do well enough.

Onana playing his game is brilliant, but he's not allowed to at the moment.

Still, could have been worse. We could have blown our summer budget early on Conor Gallagher.

He would have been a decent option at the moment. He’d be better playing for us than he has been for them.

Trouble is Onana’s game is breaking up play and being useful at set pieces. That’s inadequate for a central midfielder at this level.

Yeah, I'm sueprised it's even a discussion. Kamara and Tielemans are both world class. It won't be acknowledged away from the club, but there aren't many, if any, better central midfield pairings in world football at the minute. Luiz is a good player, but he can't do what Tielemans does and never has.

Another step down from Luiz to Onana.

There are parallels between this and when Luiz was asked to play the Kamara role and was getting some heat for his performances. Although I think Onana is more suited to that role than Luiz, it’s not the best position for either.
