@Rapahel @Nedved96 How does Lyon's midfield work with Ndombele and Aouar? I see them both going forward. Who plays what role exactly?
First, I think their best role is when you throw them out a bit of their defensive role. For me, where the two play best is in a midfield of 3, with Ndombele as a box to box, and aouar as an advanced playmaker as like iniesta.
When we play with 2 midfield for the first pass they alternate, but it is often Ndombele who is the lowest because physically is strong and by a control and his acceleration he manages to thwart the pressure of the opponent.
When it comes to organizing the game offensively it is primarily aouar or fekir , he has more a classic box to box classic, likes to play short passes, he is comfortable with the ball and with its qualities dribbling and projection he manages to create chances.
The problem today is that dybala is no longer an attacker but a midfielder he comes too low. This is where a player like ndombele can do us good because it would be the perfect link between the midfield and the attack which would allow dybala to be more often in the surface.
Against big teams, Tousart plays in a double pivot with Ndombele and Aouar plays further up the pitch.
Against smaller teams, Tousart isn't needed as a holding mid.
At the beginning I was starter but wit below-average performance and the tactical change to 3-4-1-2 or 4-2-3-1 he lost his place.
