He must learn the way of the Premier league: 1 second too long with the ball and you're on your back. He lost the ball against the spurs before their second and I noticed that he hangs on the ball for too long. He is the most dispossessed player in our team and was dispossessed 11 times in 3 games. He just needs to keep the ball going, but I recon he will figure it out soon enough. BTW he is our second best rated field player. Zamora is first.
good point that you dont get quite as long on the ball over here but as you say he will adjust to that over the next few games
I have been nothing but impressed with him. But he seems - on the evidence of two games to not be fit and have a bit of a short fuse. Today and against the scum a great first half from him vs a weaker 2nd half - just did not seem to be as dominant. He is v aggressive - a bit like Diakate was when he joined - fear he could be seeing a few reds.
Yes indeed he likes to get into the ref's face. I never saw him making a red card tackle, he really doesn't go for that killing tackles, he is more of a gentleman, he'll just use his hands or kick you in the knee. And you shouln't really worry about his fitness. Even if he lacks it, he will work on it. Granero was most hard-working player in Madrid squad, even trained extra time with Real Madrid cantera to get spot in the team.
Yes yes and yes. Lets see how he handles all the leg-hacking that he hasn't experienced to this level. Would hate to see him drop back because of it, but if he feels like he wants to hold onto the ball more, he may need to sit in front of the defenders, which would be a shame.
