When he played LWB there was always plenty of space to attack on his side and he's not that fast. Probably LCB in a back 3 or LB in a back 4 is best for him.

yeh he'd be fine at LB, that's where he was one of our best players until the switch to 3 man.

I don't think he's good enough defensively to be a full time LCB but definitely a good ball player.

he's a problem, doesn't have the mobility to make it at LWB.

why do you think montella switched him to LCB (apart from tactical flexibility)

I disagree. Blame Montella for that. Montella asks the LWB to stay back closer to the back 3 while the RWB (Conti or Borini) is used higher up the pitch.

RR is not playing the role you are expecting of him here, as he is used more defensively. His skill set is also defensive, hence he can play as a CB or LB.

He also has to frequently cover for your other bestie, Romastori.

If we win this, we'll surpass them in the table and we always play well against better teams.

Let's go boys

Happy Hakan is starting.

Now for Suso to stay too central and do fuck all. Hakan to not receive the ball and only have backward options when he does. Biglia to do nothing, Kessie to look dead after 10 minutes.

Not anticipating a good match.

Donnarumma; Musacchio, Romagnoli, Rodríguez; Calabria, Kessie, Biglia, Borini; Suso, Çalhanoglu; Kalinic.

This could work if Kessie doesn't have the freedom to run around everywhere. He needs to stay in the middle not far from Biglia, otherwise there will be a HUGE hole in the middle all game, and Biglia will have to cover the middle by himself

We probably won't do anything in January if we continue to struggle, but looking at this team, we would need a wingback, winger, midfielder.

Cannot wait for Suso to stand centrally up front and be more ineffective than Theresa May

Suso will almost certainly shame Kuja tonight.

Kalinic double, Borini from outside the box and Birsa with the goal of the season as consolation. 3-1.
