Completely disagree with the first bit.

The tactics seemed to have been switched up against Freiburg, because Hakimi was playing and he is actually good attacking. Larsen was given license to come inside, so Hakimi could exploit the space. On the right side, however, Sancho kept the width for the most part. Raphael and Pulisic, being completed dropped and Philipp coming on instead of either them is an indication of what Favre thought of their performance.

We lack a really great passer in midfield, which is why we can't hit long range passers as easily. Reus is looking tired, but he still had a good game. Witsel was excellent.

Larsen is getting better as said, but he is still not the required quality, but maybe he will get there in a couple of years.

Overall it was a good win after a CL midweek match.

I only watched few parts of the Brugge game, and I did notice Guerreiro wandering in middle and not playing very well.. so I can't tell exactly what was happening in that game. But in this game it's clear both JBL and Sancho were all over the place by design.

I still am a fan of Guerreiro's talent and I hope it can materialize more consistently.
