On the Morsy theme 10:09 - Jul 21 with 2900 views | Garv | Who is the closest player we've had to him in the past? Not in terms of overall ability - obviously we've had more talented players - but in terms of the type of player and influence on the side. I'm struggling for anyone matching the profile. Would Holland be the closest? |  |

On the Morsy theme on 12:22 - Jul 21 by ArnoldMoorhen | I will throw a new name into the mix: elements of a young Owen Garvan. Garvan went game after game without giving the ball away. His retention and distribution were superb. Morsy is more athletic, Garvan more likely to play a sweeping long pass. I will also drop in Sylvain Legwinski as a possible 70% match up. The best fit answer from the past has already been given. It's Jim, isn’t it? The closest fit ITFC player to Sam Morsy of all time: Got to be Massimo Luongo. Very similar attributes, and playing the same system accentuates that. (As do the beards and haircuts!) |
Oh and different position, but Stephen Hunt had a similar competitiveness, stamina, will to win, refusal to back down, and determination to set standards and dictate the tempo. |  | |  |
