Easily our best midfielder and a clear mistake from Motta to not play him more.

He should've done better on their goal but he brings more than another mid going forward.

Deserves all the praise for singlehandedly giving us hope that we could potentially turn it around, could see he was almost trying too much to force something towards the end but unfortunately very few showed the same kind of determination.

Ridiculous skill. One of the most beautiful goals that we've scored in the last three decades.
Thuram himself played really well in the last half an hour.

That being said, he was just horrible before Locatelli was subbed in, when he had defensive duties, and that's my main worry about this player - he can't play well on both sides of the pitch. While he does good stuff on the opponents half, he's often a donkey in his half of the pitch.

A lot of people here doubted him but he's becoming our best CM this season.

He and McKennie need to start all our 12 remaining matches. And one of Koop, DL and Locatelli because we don't have other options.

One of the cheapest signings of the summer and he has performed best so far compared to two to one hundred million.

Sell Loca, DL and maybe Koop too. Decide if we are going for a V-shaped central midfield or l-shaped. If it will be a l-shaped, find someone like Dybala but with legs, who can press but foremost has the creative spark. We have no player beside Yildiz suited for the role yet are hell bent on having it and put in players there and ask them to bully opponents. Of course McKennie will shine in the role, it is his main skill. Anyway, putting Thuram as the B2B in that midfield is a no-brainer, what we would need then is someone like Loca but with quicker feet, we don't need a Pirlo or Pjanic because the role of the regista is to protect and the trequartista to drop down in the build up. I am not a fan of this idea.

If we go for a V-shaped midfield. Find a Pjanic for the regista role. Then put Thuram as a B2B. Then decide based on opponents the final role. McKennie against big clubs. A more creative player for smaller teams.

Thuram is the only one I would keep regardless of formation and what other roles I put in. But for some reason he doesn't start every game.
