Where is Asamoah?

Evra is better at defending crosses, wich is Athletico's biggest strength during open play

Class x2.

Word to that.

Ogbonna starting for sure?

 

[MikeM]

Ogbonna to put Godin in his pocket on set pieces.

Ogbonna vs. Godin

Lichtsteiner vs. Garcia

Bonucci to get out of their way. Chiellini can mark Miranda if he wants.

nope

Sucks to see Evra being picked ahead of Asa...

hopefully it's a sign of attacking intent

Exactly.exactly .......,Asa is a beast both in defense and in attack.Definitely better.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Somehow, I doubt it

It is very simply because he can defend crosses and freekicks better, wich is how Athletico scores all its goals in top games.

How true is that really? Are you saying that because Red said it earlier?

And if by defending crosses, you mean at the back post, what actually preventing crosses on the left wing? I'm pretty sure Asa is better at that, and well, overall defending.

Asa is not a beast in attack.

Is Evra really a better defender than Asamoah though? I know asamoah is shorter but we have a tall team, i wouldn't sacrifice him just for height on set pieces.

Asa is not a beast in attack.

Well I think so ,anyway it isn't his primar role but nevertheless he is much better than Evra both in attack or in defense.Quicker,better technique,stronger shoot .... etc,I will always pick Asa over Evra.

I follow Red's opinion on it yes.

After all, Evra has alot of experience with it from the EPL as a natural leftback, where as Asamoah barely did it as a wingback/central midfielder.

I recall him not beeing that effective at it when he played leftback a few time last season.

 

[DUKAC]

Well,give Asa time to lift that trophy,not to mention that Manchester team.

 

[Zacheryah]

One thing to remind the most here, is that players with more experience are vastly superior when it comes to defending crosses and free kicks


And Evra's experience is as impressive as it gets

Am I the only one who is confident?

Kinda yes. AM is a very good team. It'll be very tough.

Today Roma showed what I was talking about this afternoon. I realize AM pisses over City but the attitude and gameplan were there for Allegri.
