I wish he stayed, though. These last few weeks where he’s been playing in an unfamiliar role (and, in my opinion, he’s been playing it well) have only reiterated my opinion that club should keep him here. That said, I don’t think he’ll want to stay, partly because of his status as squad player, partly because I have the feeling he’s not getting along with Slot.

He should spend this entire summer working on long passing and crossing. Lately he has been trying to do these stuffs, it is not great yet but it is getting better. I think he can finally fix his problem of holding on the ball too long if he can pass across the field effectively (previously he can only do short passing).
I’d agree on Macca, not so much on Grav. But that’s beside the point.
What I was saying is that if Curtis is first name on the team sheet, we’re in trouble. That Curtis is probably, on current form, one of our best midfielders is less a reflection on him and more a reflection on his dreadful the midfield has been generally.

He seemed yesterday…to look at the game…and pick it up by the scruff of the neck and run at the mid and defence…thru’ the middle…if he got fouled it was a free kick to us…nearer the goal area…

Nonsense, he just needs to be told by the coach not to linger and move the ball. This also needs others in the team to make themselves available and have some worked plays in training. The most important is that he get sufficient game time to be able to read his team mates better.

We’re in trouble!
He’s ahead of all our other midfielders ATM!
My midfield for this season is Jones, Szoboszlai and Wirtz!

It also depends on skill. Possessing long ball skills absolutely helps in finding passing targets more quickly.
