Lanzini loving the Arnie link

Manu Lanzini is reliving the Dimi Payet days with a new partner in Marko Arnautovic and he’s loving it.

Having returned to the team last week at Liverpool, Manu is looking forward to a three pointer at Swansea this weekend alongside the club’s record signing.

Speaking to the official site he said: ““Our partnership is fantastic. It’s easy to play with Marko because he is a good player, he has a good touch, good mentality and he wants to win the games. He is like me, so it’s easy to play with these players.

“We make each other better, of course. We want the same things and we think the same way.

“It’s similar to the feeling I had with Dimi before, because they are similar players. If you have a player who plays like you, it’s easy. You need to connect and that’s it. You touch the ball one way, and he touches the ball the same way.”

Lanzini is also excited by the range of attacking players available saying: “We have very good players, top players, players who play for their national teams.

Chicharito is an amazing striker and Joao Mario is an amazing football player, so we now need to connect all together and I think we’ll have a strong team.

“For me, I don’t mind where I play in this team. It is for the coach [David Moyes] to decide and where he decides, I will try my best for the team.”

“I’m very happy to be back with the team, but I was not happy with the result last Saturday. I want to help the team now.

“I am feeling good. The recovery was very smooth and I think I’m ready to train hard and am 100 per cent fit.

“Of course, I feel a big responsibility to the team, but I want this responsibility and I like it. When you have the number ten shirt on and you are one of the creative players in the team, you need to take this responsibility.”

“We need to concentrate first on Swansea, which is a final for us and one we need to win, then we can concentrate on the next game.

“We have started the late few games really well and we need to do the same again at Swansea, score a goal or two, then we need to keep our concentration for the whole 90 minutes.

“If we do this, we have a chance to win.”

  1. If you are both selected to start then get it right . No individual stuff ,,, lay the ball off if the other is in a better position to score . Easy really . We don’t need individual heroics ,,, we need goals .
