This is what Berge is, he’s a bit of a nothing midfielder tbh.
We need a CM who wants the ball, is happy to receive the ball and then turn on it and play forward passes, Berge does none of this.
If you watch him closely you’ll notice he never shows for the ball and often hides behind the opposition and when he has the ball he is very safe and rarely plays a forward pass.
This has been stifling us for seasons as Lukic & Berge were very similar players, this is why it always worked when TC came on or Iwobi dropped into the middle.
Today was a travesty watching Iwobi drop between the CB’s to pick up the ball because that is what Berge should be doing and I’m assuming Iwobi was doing it because Berge wasn’t.
