Son is capable he just chooses not to or in the heat of the moment doesn't think to. But he's been part of some quick interchanging movements at times. Even Moura has it in him but it's deffo not his forte, I agree with the rest of your assessment. Bergwijn does look equally sharp in front of goal and creative and willing to share in the final 3rd.
What you're basically describing there is someone who is not capable
Spot on. Rightly highlighted by Mourinho too.
Yes he is what we hoped Lamela would be when we bought him and have tried to mould him into but just hasn't worked. GLC is the real deal, now it's just about fitting him into a balanced and complementary line up.
Foden is his replacementHe really is a fantastic player.
Puts in a stack of effort, a battler, a complete schema, fully confident in his own ability, always looking for the best pass not the safest.
Sad to say but he would be absolutely perfect in the City or Barca teams.
In fact with David Silva going I can't think of anyone better as a replacement.
Could Skipp turn out to be that player? Oodles of energy, tigerish in the tackle, decent skill on the ball and quality distribution. If he has a drawback it's his tendency to give away cheap free kicks around the box but he's still young so that can be eradicated with coaching and experience.
I haven't really been that impressed with Bergwijn yet. I thought last night Gedson was head and shoulders better than him last night in the same position. Bergwign got no joy at all out of Aarons but Gedson beat him every single time he got the ball.
I just don't think he is very fast in terms of top speed. He has a good, explosive burst of acceleration but anything over 10 yards and he get's caught up. It looks to me that he would be best suited to a team that play high up the pitch as opposed to our deep, defensive, game.
