  1. The moment he (and earlier Modric) came in you could see how the game got shifted in a positive way, it’s too bad we were down at that moment because Lille went into full defense mode. Still baffles me Carlo started with such an extremely defensive lineup with no proper way to get the ball to the forwards beside long ball and inshallah. Dedicated playmakers are a must if you’re going 4 midfielders.

    It’s clear either one of them should be playing if we do go with 4 midfielders, an absolute shame he missed that header but I’ve for a longer time now noticed that he and rodrygo are the only ones who find these open spaces from Modric/crosses, set himself up nicely for it though.

    only small positive I took away from yesterdays match.

  2. Carlo does not give him enough minutes. i hate it. Modric has way more minutes and he is 40.

  3. that rudiger header position is very similar to the goal he assisted against 🇳🇱, again with his weak foot, too

    Very skillful, still lacks killer instinct in the final 3rd. The potential is there just needs more minutes to build his confidence

    I said this in the beginning of the season if we switch o 4-3-3, Tchou-Jude-Fede lacks creativity and ball control. Imo we should go back to the diamond 4-4-2t Guler added. Honestly might drop Tchouameni for Camavnga. Even if our trio in the attack clicks, this midfield lacks control.

  6. the ugly thruth is that camavinga and tchouameni ( and jude when he does not play as a false striker) arent creative enough compared to kroos and modric. But arda is also not good enough in defense like kroos and modric were. Either tchou cama and jude get more creative on the attack or arda gets better defensively

  7. He created that header position by himself – too bad the finish was very bad. Still points for the initial pass and very good run.
