I honestly think Johan and Montes were better today than Rudiger and Sule. Nailed on duo for sure.
For me, Antuna can’t pass or beat his man, but he can run onto a ball or draw a foul, if we play him we can’t expect him to create much. Santi is easily on a higher level than Martin, there’s no real reason to keep playing Martin instead of one of the best young players in Europe right now.
Our weakest position now is at left-back, and we keep taking three 9’s and four keepers for some reason I can’t understand.
Gallardo is fine, Jorgie was absolute garbage. Didn’t play in Ajax, doesn’t play in Porto, yet he’s starting for the national team. Televisa at work.
Nah Antuna can absolutely do damage, he jst needs to get better at decision making, specially in crosses
