John Lundstram has finally won over his doubters following two outstanding MOTM-level performances (if not for on-fire Alfredo Morelos) after the midfielder once again found himself deployed in the deep-lying midfield role he thrives in.
Lundstram, 27, is on record as confirming the 6 is his best slot, the ‘Barry Ferguson’, but ex-manager Steven Gerrard mostly played him as an advanced CM with Steven Davis taking the 6. The NI star’s style slowed Lunny down and stopped him playing his natural game, making him look poor, attracting the ire.
It wasn’t till he started a run of 5 or so matches in that 6 position under Gerrard in September that fans saw just how good he was, and he became gloriously rated, only to inexplicably lose his position as was the former boss’s way.
Fans turned on Lundstram and forgot about him, dismissing him as nothing.
His renaissance under GVB has been lovely to behold, but we hope fans now realise 100% how good this guy is, and remember it.
The support has forgotten once, it can do it again.
But there’s no denying, at present, memory aside, he’s being very well received and recognised for the quality midfielder he is.
We pointed out he was around a £15M midfielder based on market value when we got him for free, which is why we argued he was the best signing Gerrard had made, certainly the biggest and the closest to a ‘Hollywood’ signing.
Now he’s showing just why he’s so lucrative, and why so many PL clubs wanted him.
And it’s delightful to see.
The question now is who gets the slot beside him – Kamara or Jack, because John Lundstram isn’t going anywhere.
Are you doing the player ratings ? 😎👍
I thought shagger had a solid performance lastnight too,made some important saves to keep us in the game,proves hes still got it
WATP🇬🇧
That referee was a fkn joke was he watching a different game fanny🤡
Yeah, he’ll be dropped as soon as Jack is fit again.
Lundstram was very good again he thrives in that role. Morelos once again showed real class. I was a little dissapionted in Big Joe perhaps it’s hangover from Afcon .
Aribo is definitely off it at the moment. I’m sure it’s not tiredness as he would’ve played as many games if he didn’t go to to Afcon. I think he’s just lost a bit of momentum. Hopefully back in form soon. Can you imagine where we would be if we can get Aribo, Kent and Morelos all hitting top form in the run in.
