That is amazing. How come we never play him in midfield?
Klaus Because Mikel's a nervous wreck and doesn't trust him.
Klaus why doesn't he play, period? that's what I wonder...
Should have Nwaneri playing minutes, too.
He played LB in that game, and created both of Nwaneri’s goals.
Would be interesting to see both play as 8’s in a midfield as they have a strong understanding.
Even has Ode's backheel lol
Its a pity he'll have to play LB in the cup because I'd really like to see him add some energy in midfield.
he's put on even more muscle mass it seems. Going the Adama route.

He looked massive. Looked so bulky compared to everyone else.
Top class performance!!
I was cursing Arteta the entire match for not using him this season, this team has been crying out for a midfielder of his ilk.
I think he’s going to get loads of minutes in midfield next season.
This guy should have been getting way more minutes earlier in the season to avoid burning out Rice and Zubi, he has the facilities to play there.
He was great. Hopefully a pivotal moment for him. Should be a serious midfield option from now on.
Qwiss definitely. He's got quite a unique skillset, compared to the rest of our centre mids, with his dribbling ability and the way he can turn out of pressure. Delighted to see him play like that today, but not super surprised.
Yep. Hopefully he announced himself today.
Unfortunately a mate decided to get married on a match day, but was really happy to see MLS starting and even more happy to hear that he played well!
Those rumors of selling him should go away today. He will be playing lb or CDM for the next 10 years
tazmania He will be playing lb or CDM for the next 10 years
I have to think the "Lewis-Skelly at leftback" experiment is over barring injury emergencies.
RocktheCasbah some of his turns in midfield were Santi-esque. Definitely something our other mids lack. Good at winning frees with no fuss too.
Having someone who can receive the ball, turn and then BOMB forward with power from midfield was huge. He brought that extra oomph compared to Zubi. Zubi is an anticipation master
I didn’t miss Zubi at all.
He would have only slowed us down today.
MistaT was good when he came on but we can definitely afford players who speed us up against teams in the mid table and lower.
