    That doesnt even disprove the MF balancing issues at all. All this proves is that KCM got old.

    Please explain how we ended up with 3 starting calibre LWs and an oversupply of box2box midfielders.

    We just call those midfielders box 2 box because we don't want to accept how good they are/ what their purpose really is.

    We all know how good they are individually. The question is how good they are as a collective. As far as we've seen, this team has never been optimized.

    Who are you counting as B2B?
    Franco, Jude, Fede and Cama?

    J last year we didn't have these supposed problems. Then we were balanced with out injury ravaged side and lack of quality people are now complaining about.

    Anyways there is a solution. The question is will Xabi find it. My hope is he does the "crazy" and moves Vini.

    You mean to tell me now, that we actually added and addressed some needs, we have personnel issues but last year with even less players we didn’t? Carlo out!

    Yes yes the addition of quality caused the issue of personnel imbalance.

    If only we didn't have these new additions and everyone was injured like last year!

    Perfect balance

    More or less. Franco, no. We could chuck Tchou in there as well. I'm talking about the time RM bought them.

    Or the imbalance was masked due to injuries if you think about it.

    I think we have balance in the midfield if we figure out the Jude vs Arda thing

    I’d go with Jude just for his superior work rate but Arda adds more creativity and vision so I’m fine either way

    Thought about it.

    Any person who didn't see we had a significant personnel balance issue but Carlo was finding ways (even the year before with no striker and using Jude) is well... let me not say.

    Difference from JAS/Florentino seeing and choosing to go a direction (what actually happened) and not seeing the blantant obvious (what occurs daily on RMBS) :D

    Jude's father being a negative influence at Dortmund, where his brother plays. Entering the locker room without being allowed to having loud discussions with staff and club members about his son's playing time.

    Isn't that old news? Or has he recently done it again?

    Jude has been left out of the England NT squad, which mitigates any risk of him being rushed back to too many minutes consecutively.

    Hopefully he gets significant minutes today, we’re not the same team without him in the middle bossing it.

    He did it again, and is constantly trying to back channel/go to the club management to force the issue on Kovac.

    Can't remember the last time he bossed a midfield as a CM.

    He’s been here two seasons and you can’t remember good performances in midfield? Are you okay with your memory my guy?

    Apart from being lazy and costing us a goal, he did well when on and was very involved

    Jude regaining form would be super crucial for us, especially in big games when the opponent’s focus would be so big on Mbappe.

    Yeah Jude was instrumental in getting us that third goal. Sky is the limit for this young man.

    He helped to create a goal. His lack of discipline in position also cost us a goal.
