He put McK there because he runs. And apparently that's criteria enough for his current 442. Now if he put Arthur there I'd question what those fools were smoking when letting him pass with that thesis
Balance. He runs a lot and balance a bit the team. Against Atalanta we lost the MF once he went out. Against Parma he free up AS and covered that flank really good.
Gave away so many stupid free-kicks by being caught on the wrong side, including the one for their goal, and lost the ball too often.
It's as though someone taught him to play football without ever teaching him how to play a position. I defended him a few weeks ago but with a tight budget this summer maybe he is not worth spending such a large % on.
Except that Matuidi was a highly intelligent player. Talentless, but he knew how and when to move, or when to foul.
It's an insult to Matuidi to compare him to McKennie.
Still not sure what to think of him. Has shown some flashes of being potentially good player and then a lot of games like these when he really makes 0 contribution.
When he plays on the wings, they ask why doesn't he play in central midfield. Now that he was supposed to play CM, we ask what is his position.
The kid has no position. He's not good anywhere.
