I really thought he'd kick on with the form he showed late pre-season and early on this season. He was aggressive, direct and involved.
Now he is none of those and hasn't been for a good while. And honestly, that was like half a dozen games at most.
Emre Can also had a mini-run where he looked like he was going to be the new Vieira and then he never showed anything close to that again afterwards. In the end, even though he did a ok job and wasn't a "sell him!" level player, we were all so much better off when he left and we got in an actual world class player in Fabinho to replace him.
That's not so different from where we are at with Cody right now.
