    Matthews sets up more goals than Lustig though.

    I actually think Matthews is more dangerous going forward. He is much faster and is more inclined to go bomb forward and take players on IMO. Lustig is more defensively sound though.

    Mikael seems to have been alot more effective going forward when he was at Rosenborg, he averaged about 5 goals a season there.

    I think Matthews can get by his man better but he often wastes that opportunity for a cross by over-running it or losing out to the next defender. Lustig for me makes the most of when he has the ball..

    Based in ILTC's stats Matthews gets an assist every 7 games on average, Lustig gets one every 6.08 games so Lustig is the best going forward of the two

    Aye I would have guessed Matthews set up more chances, probably does but more have been missed compared to Lustig.

    Brafheid shows you how misleading stats can be :56:

    Would 2 in 10 not be 1 in 5.00?

    I really like him at CB. Been wanting to see him there again as he has all the attributes; quick, strong, good in the air, reads the game well, good communicator and tends to make the right decision under pressure...

    He is still probably our best RB but Matthews is also so good that it means we can play both with Fisher capable back up. If we are looking to start pressing higher up the field, which although there hasn't been much evidence is supposedly what Ronny is after, then Lustig's pace and clear head could be good attributes to have at CB.

    Great VC as well and better him with the band than Mulgrew it seems.

    How good are we in the full back positions? Utterly dominant.
