Your German and Nazi parallels seem a bit nonsensical and hysterical. But since you mention it I’m no fan of Bayer Leverkusen. But that’s another kettle of aspirin.
Bookies calculate the odds on form and the season before was a drop in form … finished mid table with only one win from the last seven games. The pre-season friendlies were a better indicator. I wonder if anyone did an each-way bet. That would’ve paid out.
The 45 minutes he played yesterday he was given a free role. Sometimes wide left. Sometimes wide right. Then coming deep to pick the ball up in central midfield and build an attack. I see him as a number 10 more of a playmaker but with an eye for goal. I don’t want to overdo it by comparing him to Stan but he has a similar skill and swagger with a bit of grit and tenacity to his character too. The highlight yesterday was him cutting in from the left skipping past a defender and curling one in from outside the box leaving the keeper with no chance - alas the ball smacked against the post.
