KK is 31 ?

thanks stand corrected.

Still he moves like 33+ though... perhaps fitness?

And no, he does not move like Rudiger, which was my main point.

give him a chance to adapt.

you've obviously forgot what Rudiger was like when he first came here, he was a loose cannon ffs.

What? maybe I'm not making myself clear, it is my opinion after all.

Please don't conflate characteristics and quality. While I don't yet know how much Koulibaly will help, I already know he's no Rudiger in characteristics, as in style of play. He's a far more limited CB even if still a good one.

We are on the Tuchel thread here, and my original point was about how much losing Rudiger, and not getting a player of the same style, would hurt his strategy. I haven't seen enough of Fofana, but perhaps he may be able to fill that void left by Rudiger. That's all there is to it.

As i recall, when tuchel came our defense in attack was in the opponents half, now it isnt.

We are disjoint and all over the place this season

I think TT wanted al of this player bc he know that the ones he have do not believe in him

We ll see what will happen

Any indication he may finally drop 3atb system? I think we finally have players for that.

We played with 4 at the back for 3 ganes now. 

The results havent been overwhelming must be said.

Playing a back 4 over the last few weeks has only reinforced that we need to go back to 3 at the back IMO.

Jorgi should be better in a back 4.

Yes, but long term. Fofana - KK pairing. Kai AM behind Auba. Zakaria DM. I want to see this.

Nah. When we play 3 ATB, he normally has cover. Moreover, one of the 3 usually make an extra body in the mid specially when off the ball saving him a bit from counters. In a back 4, with the modern FB no different from a WB, he is way too exposed. 

Atleast thats how I see it. 

Anyways, 3 or 4, he is a passenger to have.

Now that the transfer window is closed and that he has a more settled squad, hopefully he can concentrate on getting them to play better football with more spirit.

Because it's been mediocre so far.
