Dani Ceballos: 2019/20 Performances

[dashsnow17]

Interesting to see how completely his role has changed under Arteta, and also how key Bellerin has been in helping him settle. That's the sort of intangible quality which fans can't see but which still contribute a lot to a squad. People give off about Luiz and Hector, but they're clearly leaders in the dressing room, and that's what fans want, right?

Still think he's too technically brilliant to not be a success, similar to Kovacic at Chelsea.

I may be wrong but let's see what happens if we actually play him as a deep CM.

From back in December. The first step was playing him deeper which Arteta has done. The second step was getting him to not show off as much which Arteta has also done.

He's not using the fancy turns and touches to break presses instead of just doing it for no reason.

He's also shown that he can make the assist the assister pass in recent weeks so I think we now look at partnering him with an athletic CM that has a good all around game. Partey would be excellent.

Surely the aim if reports are true?

I think that midfield annoys you in some games but is good enough to challenge for the top4.

Eventually you hope Ceballos can mature into someone that does Xhaka's job then you replace Xhaka with a modern no10 or Smith-Rowe/Willock if they fulfil their potential.

Anybody able to draw out the per 90 tackles, interceptions, ball winning pre & post lockdown.

The armchair analysis is that it feels like it's up significantly. Seems to be operating much better in the tighter spaces too. Also his "one leggedness" doesn't seem to be catching him out like earlier in the season.

Hopefully, if we could do that in one summer it'd be impressive. It doesn't have a De Bruyne type, a real star. But it's solid, add a quality CB and you might have yourself a solid foundation for a team.

For a 23 year old in his first season in the prem this looks pretty good, basically shows he's decent at everything. If he can maintain this level with steady improvements he'll eventually be a top class all-round CM.

play a guy who's a 8/6 at 8/6 and he's better than as some kind of half winger, half 10. Rocket science.

True, but I can see why he was playing over on the left. That's where he played mostly for spain u-21, right? Also, if we bought Partey and kept Ceballos, I'd imagine Partey would occupy the space Ceballos has been in, and Ceballos would move back to the left with a bit more positional freedom.

Games I've seen for Spain he actually was deeper on the right, but there was a lot of interchanging with Ruiz.

 

[GunnerBP]

Next season, I bet we're going to play with three midfielders, and right now Arteta's coaching is making sure that Ceballos could play all three positions.

He could play as our CDM, B2B, or AM. I think AM will probably be his main position, but being able to play him in all three will be massive.

Interesting. Looks like Emery allowed him to roam more, and at times it worked all, especially against Burnley here he was simply everywhere. But more often it didn't work well, a la Flamini-headless-chicken. It seems quite clear where Arteta wants him to stay and he has performed excellently in this structure.

Leadership in the background is important but Bellerin taking Dani to his favourite tapas bars in London isnt much use when your playing Sp**s away.

Everyone wants good characters but unfortunately good characters dont win football matches. Good players do.

Remember the Watford game when Emery played him in the wing ffs

Partey Xhaka Ceballos​

I wouldn't be mad at that one. Pretty well-balanced. I want a playmaking number eight in midfield also, but that'll form a solid midfield for the time being.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Always rated him, glad others are finally opening their eyes.

 

[DanDare]

For sure he's a different man under Arteta, as are many players

Happy to keep him next season and sign him. Hopefully we won't give him crazy wages in case he doesn't quite become what we need

 

[Oxeki]

A loan with obligation to buy is the best for all parties

Feels like only a few weeks ago i was saying sign him up and the doubters were everywhere. Someone giving my stick for highlighting his performance for Spain v Poland in the under 21s which showcased his ability as a complete baller.
