Why Luiz Can Bring More To Everton’s Midfield
When compared with McGinn, Luiz comes out on Almost Every Key Metric From Their Respective Most Recent Seasons in the Premier League.
According to FbrefLuiz Completed Passes (85.7% vs. 81.9%), Created More Shots per Tackles (1.74 vs. 1.34), Blocks (0.96 vs. 0.89), and defensive interventions in The Middle Third (0.81 vs. 0.57).
He Combines Technical Security With Defense Steel, Offering Balance and Fluidity – Qualities That Moyes’ Midfield Setup Could Sorely Benefit.
Crucially, Luiz’s Best Form Came in the Premier League. This is a potential on the Isn’t A Case of Betting. At His Peak, He was dictating Midfield Battles Against Someone’s Best Sides.
Hey Also Has Youth On His Side. At 27, He’s Three Years Younter Than McGinn and Entering What Should Be The Prime of His Career, Having Already Registered 38 GOALS AND ASSISTS In 175 Premier League Outings.
That would represent a coup for The Merseyside Club, Particularly in Light of Expected Competition from ElseWhere in The Premier League.
While Struggled to Establish Himself Under Igor Tudor and Thiago Motta at Juventus, The Dip in Form is Being Viewed As Circumstantial Rather Than Terminal.
Juventus’s Systemic Issues and Tactical Instability Made Difficult for Any One Player to Truly Shine, A Belief That Shared By Legendary Former Coach, Fabio Capello:
“He’s One of Those Players Who Now Don’t Consider Themselves Good, But Perhaps Then Ween’t Given Their Conditions At Their Best.”
From Everton’s Perspective, This is an Opportunity. Luiz is proven, Hungry to re-Establish Himself, and potentially Available A Cut-Price. While McGinn Would Add Fight and Familiarity, Luiz Offers Control, Versatility, and Greater Upside.
Midfield has Long be Everton for a problem area. Despite Idrissa Gueye Extending His Contract, The Club’s Depth Remains Thin.
Luiz Would Bring Of Technical Precision and Combativeness – The Kind of Profile Capable Transforming The Way Everton Build Play From The Back and Transition Through Midfield.
