Popular Post Dirkster the Fox 327 Posted 29 September 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 They way he very slightly dips his centre of gravity throughout, when twisting/turning means his passes feel like they're one touch, even if not. If this is him after less then a hand of games then, wow, what another great signing. You've got to admit, this is one hell of a City team now. 12 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Babylon 29,011 Posted 29 September 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 Very very impressed with him today, still not sure Youri is up to speed... he should be looking over his shoulder as Praet looks the business. 23 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Winchesterfox 273 Posted 29 September 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 Praet was outstanding today. So composed on the ball, and he played the right pass with the right weight almost every time. He has to start the next match. 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tielemans was good today but Praet was the best player on the pitch, most certainly first half. We not have 3 genuine top class central midfielders as well as 2 very good DCM's. Ndidi so far this season is almost flawless, unlucky not to be sat on 3-4 goals this season already too. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mozartfox 5,274 Posted 29 September 2019 Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 Fantastic signing. The fact that Maddison was out, really just shows how far we have gone. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fox92 11,802 Posted 29 September 2019 Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 Said post Luton how good he was and I have been impressed with his short appearances this season. I thought he was superb at Chelsea. But yeah, very good today. For me, when Maddison is back Praet should still retain his place in central midfield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirkster the Fox 327 Posted 29 September 2019 Author Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 He covers the ground so well, but sort of drifts into position. Like I've said its the slight dip in shoulder with his movement which shows quality. First touch superb and awareness likewise. Genuinely thrilled we've got another top midfielder into the squad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Claridge 772 Posted 29 September 2019 Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 Reminds me of dean Hammond for some bizarre reason. An excellent dean hammond but I feel a bit uncomfortable thinking this 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xen 3,086 Posted 29 September 2019 Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 Absolutely brilliant today. If that's him still getting up to speed then we've got a lot to be excited about in the future. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RowlattsFox 2,517 Posted 29 September 2019 Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 Tielemans has more X factor and will play the killer pass. Be brilliant to get Maddison, Tielemans and Praet into the same team, I can see Maddison playing from the left again at Liverpool. Praet is perfect to play alongside Ndidi or Choudhury. If we can get the diamond to work it would be perfect. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kingfox 4,934 Posted 29 September 2019 Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 So calm on the ball today, always looking for the ball too, very classy player. After today he deserves to start at Anfield. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frost 499 Posted 29 September 2019 Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 (edited) This fella can control the ball with his chest expertly. Classy player who keeps the tempo high. I'd play him instead of Tielemans at present. Praise the Lord that tackle didn't snap his leg. Edited 29 September 2019 by Frost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dyanmark 109 Posted 29 September 2019 Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 Said last week the Belgians I met on hols rated him .Quiet and no fuss but did nothing wrong and everything right getting possession and the reverse pass to the left pre vardys goal was excellent. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StriderHiryu 17,694 Posted 29 September 2019 Report Share Posted 29 September 2019 To be honest I thought he was just “OK” today! Probably a 7.5/10 performance. But I see why their is hype for him. He’s got a lot of great qualities about him and to fit in already from a very different league is exciting. He didn’t bed in as fast as say Tielemans but I’d say he’s on about par with Maddison which should be taken as a compliment! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solid at just being solid but wasn't exceptional in anyway, whereas Praet has skills to go with that tactically solidness. But tbf, Italian football will do that to you.

Surprised you think that. For me he was sensational today, completely dictated the pace of the game. Our midfield is just stunning these days. 3 of Ndidi, Choudhury, Praet, Tielemans and Maddison. Yes please. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
