Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I saw one of our players was fouled in possession, I didn't realise that was Luiz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 With the caveat that I only managed to catch the last half an hour or so I thought he looked great in that period. He obviously interprets the role of a sitting midfielder differently to Nakamba but he was doing exactly what you'd expect from a player who does so as he does. Spreading the play, getting it between the lines to the more attacking players etc and looked more confident doing so than at the beginning of the season which is a good sign that he's settling in a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 He seemed very involved and at the centre of a lot of things, checked his stats and he went for 104 passes with 93.3% accuracy today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) I really don't like him in that DM role. Played well, but i think he is better as a CM Edited October 30, 2019 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I won't go overboard because he'll likely never have an easier game in his life but he was a joy to watch tonight. Thought he was excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 He does have a mistake or 2 in him during games. However he was by far the best of our lot tonight. Great passer of the ball and I'm sure as the season and his career progresses he will erase them from his game. Very classy player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really??? bar the mistake for the goal he was easily one of our best players - you can tell he has a touch of class about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 It was so easy he got bored, and lost concentration. Didn't look a foul to me. Little bit of urgency would have been nice, but he had nothing to play with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tend to do crucial mistakes when he plays in that position. I want him as a box to box. Nakamba is nailed on in that dm spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little bit of urgency would have been nice, but he had nothing to play with. That’s my feeling aswell. First half it looked like he realised he was a class above the opposition, and tried to impose himself, did well, By the second half it looked like that same feeling led to him lacking concentration. No doubting his class but it’s not the first time he’s cost us a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 He was probably our best player tonight, but given the opportunity to run the midfield against very mediocre opposition he didn't really convince. He reminded me somewhat of Carlos Sanchez in our passing sideways phase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolute drivel, everytime Luiz got the ball he was looking to pass forward and keep things moving. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 He was the most available for the ball and the most industrious with it tonight. Other players could've stepped up tonight but didn't. I thought apart from him and the 2 CB's and Steer tonight the rest were well below average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakamba is nailed on in that dm spot. I agree with wanting Nakamba in vs teams as good or better than us (which for the sake of argument can include most PL teams in our first season back) but I think playing Douglas Luis there is a handy option when we are the team likely to have the vast majority of the ball.
