McKennie, Wright Vs Brooks:Schalke vs Wolfsburg

McKennie in the number 10 role.

Brooks had a big cross field switch which started the sequence leading to a Wolfsburg chance early on.

 

Another switch that leads to a cross and a Wolfsburg half chance.

 

Anybody else see McKennie seem like he tweaked his groin about minute 15 and he hasn’t been as aggressive.

 

JAB's ability to play the role of a deep distributor is almost Pirlo-esque!

 

It’s just so odd when Weston is played this high up the field. He just chases and chases.

 

McKennie has won the ball in the attacking half a few times and been able to get on the ball in some dangerous places, but I am not sure he completed a forward pass in the first half. I also remember one nice dispossession he had at the top of the Schalke defensive box.

Brooks passing has been good and has been fine defensively. Defensively he cut out a McKennie through ball, and Skrzybski got a shot off against him after getting played the ball when Brooks was on the back foot after Schalke broke through on the Wolfsburg right.

 

That cross...

MCKennie gets to endline and lofts a perfect cross, Shalke can finish.

Nice backheel a few seconds later.

 

Great cross by Mckennie from the end line that picks out Uth whose header is saved.

McKennie with a nice back heal at the edge of the box to Oczipka, but it comes to nothing.

 

So close, shot rolls just right of the post.

 

McKennie does well to win the ball at midfield starting a counter that ends with Weston pulling a volley just wide.

 

And Weston almost scored. Decent hit. He’s killing it to start the second half, all over the field.

 

He's everywhere. Just missed the goal wide after the two events mentioned above

 

The best I’ve seen him play. Seems to be rapidly improving as a player.

 

The amount of ground he’s covered is insane. Never out of the camera view.

 

Weston looks good

 

He looks better than £20 million tbh.
