Well let's be fair, he's been terrific and also to play like this at the old age of 36 is brilliant.He’ll get clowned versus Bayern.
It’s a great start but he’s been feasting on the weak teams. Need this tractor to produce the goods in the big games.
Flick clearly knows how to get the best out of him and the system currently seems to work far better for him.
There is no doubt the physical preparation of the team has improved in general which helps him shoulder less of the burden with regards to pressing.
So far, he hasn't been great in the big games with us, I guess he has been a bit of a flat track bully but that isn't a bad thing. Somehow this season feels very different as the team is not grinding out results but dominating, so perhaps we will be able to attack much better against the top teams now.
