What a waste of space. Goodness knows what people see in him. Apart from a couple of good long passes, and a couple of efforts on goal, what did he actually do? Sell him please.
How Casillas kept that header out, I'll never know.
A decent shift in the first half, defensively, and with some of his runs, but he tired out and had another fairly anonymous second half. Not helped playing in an unfamiliar position. Not in good form.
Btw, Ancelotti just said, that Juve bossed the first 45 minutes because of "Pogba and Marchisio". Take that, haters. But Ancelotti's just another mindless fanboy, right?
He actually said that Real were forced to defend deep because Pogba and Marchisio's positions were causing Real problems. It was more of a compliment to Conte. We doubled, or even tripled the pressure on their fullbacks, which forced their midfielders to stay deep in their half. With excellent pressing we restricted their wingers from seeing a lot of the ball.
He was alright. Doesn't deserve the criticism and I kinda liked the idea of using him as a winger. Think he'd do even better with Licht as a RB so they can overlap runs. It'd be great to have someone who can put in a cross like Caceres did however.

The last thing we should be doing is selling our God Damn good players. We are seeing what it's like having no damn impact off the bench in the midfield.
