The thing is that in their respective nationl teams, the players have, i think, much more freedom in their movement and their play so they do tend to play better for their NT than their respective teams. Kulu had a great game tonight, but he started the game and wasnt introduced in the 78th minute where he wouldnt have had so much time to express himself. Also, the players around him know how to play football and are not wasteful and can actually move with and without the ball so that also helps.

Also, you just know that instead of Claesson if it was any of our midfield players they would have either miscontrolled the ball or completely missed the goal with the shot if they had taken it.
