Clever Fox 1,407 Posted 13 September 2020 Report Share Posted 13 September 2020 I thought he was very good today, definitely effected the game in a positive way. Nice to see a little bit of competitive steel from him. But he's also a good passer of the Ball. I think all he needs is more games to fully get up to speed, then we'll see the real Denis the menace. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dayday 907 Posted 13 September 2020 Report Share Posted 13 September 2020 It was said in previous topics like Soyuncu he is a better player 2nd season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it was poor first 20 and we grew into it. As I said the new lad looked the player first half. I could not fault his second half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chocolate Teapot 3,526 Posted 14 September 2020 Report Share Posted 14 September 2020 I thought when Praet joined he was a breath of fresh air and up until lockdown he was probably unlucky not to have started more games. Post lockdown he was poor though and went missing in many games. Thought he was back to his best yesterday, brilliant movement and setup for the first and you could see his confidence return after. He doesnt start for me, but I think the criticism of some is over the top. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deeg67 2,845 Posted 14 September 2020 Report Share Posted 14 September 2020 I don't see how you bench him honestly. The commentary in the first half was hilarious, as Praet was probably our best player going forward. He was certainly better than Tielemans over his 70 minutes and clearly deserves to start against Burnley (though I firmly expect he won't). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vardinio'sCat 1,815 Posted 14 September 2020 Report Share Posted 14 September 2020 He seemed to be our most advanced midfielder, and whilst he isn't flashy like Maddison, he is intelligent with his movement. He did say something about how he liked to be further forward than he was often playing in Italy, when he got here. I'm a big fan, and I think he and Mendy are key to us delivering in all 4 competitions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strokes 10,074 Posted 14 September 2020 Report Share Posted 14 September 2020 Yesterday and I think it was against villa last season, are the only two games where I’ve really thought I can see him offering something worth keeping. A few more of these type of performances and I’ll gladly admit I was wrong on him. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StanSP 26,310 Posted 20 September 2020 Report Share Posted 20 September 2020 Absolute thunderbolt. Quality from him again. Think he's genuinely got more confident and composed since having Castagne near him. They have good connection. Keep it up, Dennis! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fleshdaddy 47 Posted 20 September 2020 Report Share Posted 20 September 2020 He's mustard. He's not flashy, but a quality player. Can't believe some fans would happily have had him sold, when he was linked with a move back to Italy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonezy 590 Posted 20 September 2020 Report Share Posted 20 September 2020 I like this version of Praet. Just ghosting around and running into space creating chaos. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ric Flair 20,333 Posted 20 September 2020 Report Share Posted 20 September 2020 Those eyes could kill a bear, what a goal tonight and his all round performance was top class. Maddison doesn't come back in to the starting XI yet in the PL as Praet and Tielemans have been the business. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StriderHiryu 16,951 Posted 20 September 2020 Report Share Posted 20 September 2020 Better already in the last two games than all of last season. I thought be might need 12 months to settle, and I think we are seeing evidence of that. His all round game is very good and he makes those around him play better. It's no coincidence that all 3 of the Belgian players improve when playing with one another! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom12345 1,173 Posted 20 September 2020 Report Share Posted 20 September 2020 Praet was excellent. Direct. Forward thinking. Makes regular runs into the box, left and right. Plays defence. NEEDS to keep his place, otherwise I will be disappointed again at Rodgers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
