Sorry but he's no Essien.

Kovacic was indifferent last season under Sarri. No one can deny it. For me it is the worst thing to see a naturally talented player playing under his talent for a season. I'd much rather see a limited player overachieving.

Add goals to his game and Real Madrid comes back knocking with 120m offer. The role he has now under Frank I don't think we see him score much. 1-3 goals per season.

Put Frank Lampard as a sitting DM and he'd look average, likewise putting Drogba on the wing.

I'm not for one second saying Kova will create a legacy on par with those two, but the role he was playing under Sarri was just as much out of his comfort zone as playing Lamps and DD in those positions would have been for them.

For me his class was obvious and it was always going to come to the fore in a more appropriate position.

He scores when he wants

which is once a season 🙂 

Needs to sort that celebration out, otherwise he'll be shown the door.

I want to see it as much as possible for the rest of the season

He’s got a wager on with Jorgy - most improved midfielder from last season. 
 

Didn’t rate him last season, didn’t see the point in signing him this season and glad to have been 100% wrong!

It's quite silly, what message is he telling to whom (not being Just)? And the happy jump is sort of a skip. The broad smile is a keeper, though.

It's not just his quality, it's his work-rate, a real team player, no fuss, no drama, just gets on with it.

 

He can tackle, he can pass, he can press, he has skill in abundance, amazing touch, he can glide past players, he's creative but also dogged, you can give him the ball in any situation, he always wants it, and he has a cool temperament.

 

Not sure I've seen a better midfielder in the Prem this year. In fact I am sure. I haven't.

I don't give a flying f**k about his celebration as long as he's not f**king jumping from one leg to the other while blowing into a flute

I thought the same but I think he's doing it at a self mockery sort of thing given that he's been vocal about his goal draught.

If you watched Jorginho, you have seen a better one in our team...and in the whole league well most likely De Bruyne so far. Take away those Kovacic fanboy glasses, really important.

Now say that again without crying. 

I'm sure people have had ample time to get over it. It's just a footballer. Ginger one at that.

Pathetic. 

What's wrong with what Gol15 said? Jorginho has been quality this year and KDB is the best midfielder in the country.

De Bruyne gets hyped up way too much.

Makes unnecessary jibes at other posters (‘take away those fanboy glasses’), stubbornly clings to an irrational aversion to Kovacic whose good form seems to be making Gol15 angry.

He isn’t all hype though, and just imagine we had him & Salah also.

Why is it someone who has the opinion that  Kovacic has been our best midfielder and possibly the best in the prem has to labelled a fan boy? Its pathetic.
