That's indeed the impression I get from him when he plays for us. On the other hand, it seems the guy does a lot socially, esp helping the poor, but I guess that's really not that connected to the his on-pitch persona. Sometimes a player simply lacks aggression, which can more or less be a detriment depending where he plays; it's usually more of a problem in the PL eh. And then again we saw what we saw at the World Cup... so, Ziyech, what the fuck?! 😆 Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 DD made only 3 subs of possible 10 last 2 games. They don't have depth at all because of the injuries. They miss great players in every position. Maignan, Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez, Kante, Pogba, Nkunku and Benzema. Some here would start some would be first options from the bench.

And Deschamps rejected the opportunity to call one player to squad instead of Benzema.. Could have been DIaby or Ben Yedder. Crazy depth still.

Vesper 30,184 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 No clue is going to win between the Argies and France the two best teams by far in the tourney Pessi seems on a mission and their MF matches up well, but Otamendi is potentially huge weak spot Mbappe has been a bit quiet the last 2 games, so I expect him to blow up, Molina will have his hands full, and Konate seems to have solved their CB issue with Upamecano, he was rock solid yesterday, and another key is Adrien Rabiot's health (he missed the last game with a flu) I am going to go 3 2 France (but zero shock if that is flipped) robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,184 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Bayern Munich, Inter Milan continue to rule World Cup as 40-year run of finalists continues in Qatar https://www.espn.co.uk/football/blog-the-toe-poke/story/4831711/bayern-and-inters-incredible-streak-of-world-cup-finalists France will be facing Argentina in the 2022 men's World Cup final with the prospect of being the first team to retain their title since Brazil in 1962, but the match-up also guarantees that an extraordinary streak dating back four decades will continue when the showpiece kicks off in Qatar on Sunday. At least one player from both 10-time reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and Serie A giants Inter Milan has been involved in every World Cup final since Italy's 3-1 victory over West Germany in the 1982 decider in Spain. What's more, when Kylian Mbappe leads the line against Lionel Messi & Co. in the 2022 final at the Lusail Stadium, both Bayern and Inter will once again have a player involved. Qatar 2022 Bayern: Benjamin Pavard, Dayot Upamecano, Kingsley Coman, Lucas Hernandez (France). Inter: Lautaro Martinez (Argentina) We are once again guaranteed to have at least one Bayern and one Inter player taking part in the Qatar final. Inter are represented by Argentina, while France have plenty of Bayern players in their squad to ensure the streak will continue into the 2026 tournament.

Also Willian was slightly better than him in the same role. The reason we struggle in the scoring department is not Ziyech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about different things here: we are not really questioning his skill here (also fair game), as in goal scoring, but rather his level of dedication when playing for Chelsea vs playing for Morocco.
