I still think he's more a pivot player next to a destroyer than a n10 anyways. When next to a hard worker like Willian, and in front of a pivot, you need to have more creativity than he has.
True. Says a lot when he does it during the most vital spell though. Surely that means we will be in the market for another attacking mid next window then if we dont keep Moses or Marin
He is so good in the middle. He set off that counterattack Ba killed too. Could have easily had a brace with a better striker out there. He has earned the attacking mid spot.
I hope you guys don't judge Kalas by today. If he gets exposed remember he's up against the best offense in the league, and has not had plenty of minutes so far.
I think as far as hard work goes he is definitely better than Coutinho. Offensively I dont think he is though. Even without as good as strikers as Coutinho has I feel he lacks that creative spark that Coutinho is able to pull off when asked to. A lack of imagination more so than skill.
Mikel takes their captain out, and probably saved Lampard there. No way that ref would have kept him on if all the atletico players surrounded him without Mikel and Azpilicueta stopping them.
