Jude is so important to this squad, and it was great to have him back. His tackles and hard work should’ve lead to 1-2 goals alone with better finishing from the attackers. Really eager to see whether Carlo will go to a Diamond when Cama is back to release Jude a bit more. edit: like @Naz07 mentions above, Mendy is painful to watch on the ball. So limited it’s crazy.
Despite how many times i read stuff like this, Ferland rarely gives the ball away, certainly no more than any other player out there that it must be mentioned, he may look clumsy to some, he may pass the ball back a lot but he rarely just turns it over, that is a myth because of who he is and his playing style, actually did not play badly in this game, and started more than one attack, our struggles are not because of Ferland Mendy, although it's easy to blame him for all because he's as far away from a fan favourite as any player can get. Cama taking that spot, not as long as Carlo is coach, there's a reason we keep reading that Carlo asked the club to renew him, no matter if you like him or not, Ferland has helped our club to numerous trophies already, if he was as terrible as some think there is no way he would have lasted this long at this club, the biggest and best out there IMO, i'll trust the coaches

This is my concern. If Ancelloti sticks to the 433 Jude needs to learn to scale back his offensive runs. I don't blame him since last season he had full freedom to make a run and stay upfront most games. Can't afford him playing the same way with the way the team is setting up now.
Yeah. A 4-3-3 would necessitate that. Jude can’t leave Fede and Tchou to cover so much ground. That’s a recipe for a swiss cheese midfield. That’s why I support a four-man midfield. Jude would get the opportunities to make consistent runs into the box and provide an aerial threat which all the forwards lack.
