I really don't understand the idea behind starting mediocre players like Rugani, Gatti and Kelly while benching Openda, Zhegrova, Vlahovic. Just play to your strengths for fucks sake.
You dont understand that there's a difference between defence and atttack positions? That our defenders are all mediocre besides Bremer who is out so they have to play?
They only competing with eachother not the attackers. We have plenty of good attacking options, unlike in defence.
Theres no correlation with the defenders and attackers playing time.
Except for maybe when he cowardly and conservatively misuses a CB like Kalulu as right wing back. In certain match ups, even if he is too attacking for that role, its a spot he could use Zhegrova on instead.
But certainly not in a game where you facing Leao on that flank.
