Johnny Cardoso

It was the Chelsea and Pool games where he dipped below 6, at 5.9 and 5.7. Probably because for the rest of the time he was on the pitch he was doing OK. That penalty was frustrating.

It was woeful. 5.9 is far far too high!

The player we actually need to find more consistency from is Sarr. He has the lowest and the highest scores from our midfielders. You get the feeling that consistency is gradually coming into his game though.

He is 22. We forget he wasn't much more than a youth player in previous seasons, so we need to give him time. He has impressed this year. He also gave away a senseless penalty in that game. Both Bissouma and Sarr lost us points single-handedly in that game.

He's supposed to be very good off the ball (see data below), positional sense, strong engine. 183 appearances at 23

If it's true, he'd be a great fit for us. to the conversation in thread, Biss is very inconsistent, I'd say the combination of a more defensive minded midfielder who is better off the ball than our current group in a rotation with Bentancur (really good with ball) and Grey (learning) would be an interesting mix

Those numbers match quite well with what I've heard/read about him.

Imo we need more quality on the ball in that 6 role. A press resistant, playmaking, tempo setting type with good passing. I think there's some hope Cardoso will develop into that player, but not there yet. If that's true I don't think he'll be a priority this January.

we need a challenger to bissouma and cardoso fits
also the US is a market that levy has a lot in so i can see it happening

Yeah, we absolutely do. Rodri hit 7.6 over 34 league games last season and sets the highest bar. Dembele also had a couple of seasons where he was up at those levels on the same rating system (WhoScored). Big Vic's 16/17 season was at 7.25.

Anything over 7 and I think we would notice a big difference with our own eyes. Just like Slot is with Gravenberch who is at 7.1 this season.

I just don't know where we find this midfielder (or two).

But Gravenberch was hardly a roaring success under Klopp? so it shows you can be a better player if the fit/system aligns

Some talk we might bring him in this month, it's actually one of the positions we're fairly well covered in but I expect Bissouma or Bentancur to go in the summer (probably Bissouma) so getting him acclimatized for a few months first so he can hit the ground running next season would be a good move. No idea if he's actually any good.

I thought he was a proper dm. If I’m not wrong this is not a position we havr well covered instead our midfield is crying out or a proper DM
