Same thing Ramos did at the Rakitic goal. When multiple players make the exact same mistake I blame it on coaching. Every player gets aggressive and goes way too far from the line to speculate on very dangerous situations. Can't rely on this being an actual tactic.
The problem with that is once the player you're attacking finds a way to dribble past you or find a right pass, you're dead. Acres of space behind Carvajal for that goal. Damn can't even watch again.
I agree. Players look like they have zero idea what to do on the pitch. What makes it even worse is that we are talking about basically basics. We fail at that. We have zero system in play, just basically anarchy. Then we come to Carvajal who is highly impulsive and completely collapses without strong leadership and structure on the pitch. Dude looked like charging bull when seeing red flag or some shit. It was so sad to see that i laughed out of misery.
Things just got even shitter [ahem] for Carvajal - confirmation here that he finished Tuesday's game [and pre-match interview] with a torn hamstring https://t.co/wTMU63jlgs— Dermot Corrigan (@dermotmcorrigan) March 7, 2019 Dani will be out 4-6 weeks. It gets worse and worse
This is like the third year in a row where he gets an injury around this point of the season. Seems a bit injury prone to be honest. Good thing we bought Odriozola.

The Odriozola move was a very piece of business, as good as Dani is, we’ll always need a high caliber option cos of the inevitable injuries.
No posts here for 9 months. Has he been the weakest starter in the team in the last 2~ years? Or the weakest untouchable player? Courtois had a shit year last year but he's making up for it. Bale was only a sporadic starter, Carvajal is untouchable.
He's only behind Ramos, Benz, and Casemiro for most minutes this season in arguably the best defense in La Liga. I think he's actually had a relatively solid season. His whoscored rating is 7.35. He has 4 assists which ties for 2nd on our team along with Modric. He's not at his best, but he isn't a total liability either.
Funny you should say that. Carvajal has the second best defensive stats after Casemiro in the team. First place was never attainable with Casemiro who has the best defensive stats in the league. The second highest assists in the team too this terrible weak link. Not to mention he is the third highest rated player in the team after Benz and Kroos and just above Casemiro. But hey he doesnt play Joga Bonito out there so what do i know And where is this hype of Achraf coming? Is it the same hype Odriozola got before he quickly lost his position on the bench. Achraf is even weaker defensively than Odriozola, hence why their coach started playing him in midfield and had a 35 year old RB play there instead Lets calm down with the hyperbole and lets start respecting our players abit more
Carvajal has been solid like always, does his defensive job and runs for the short. Top 2 with that RB of Liverpool, wouldn’t change him for someone else. Maybe Walker.
I honestly think he is one of our more important players. His form is up and down, and he is not as excellent as in previous seasons, but weakest link is a bit of a stretch. I dont even think he is one our weakest fullback.
He is good but he needs better competinion, i mean Odriozola..well, just NO. Would be interesting to see his battle vs Hakimi.
He is overburdened on the right. We’d help him a lot if we got an actually world class RW to take on defenders and dominate that attacking side. Haven’t had that for ages. It’s almost always Carvajal and Modric with an inept right winger and Benz drifting to the opposite side for some reason, forcing a cross. Imagine how much energy he could conserve with a Mane on front of him. Valverde helps because he seems to drift right so Dani is active help. His decision making isn’t always great but he is still a top RB.
I don’t watch Dortmund consistently enough to make a good assessment. Watched all their CL games and a couple Bundesliga games, but mostly just keep up with the score lines and stats. That being said, I don’t think he will in the immediate future. At least not right away. I’ll wait to see how he does with some starts in a white shirt again, but his defense worries me He would have to seriously impress to bench Carvajal, our best Castilla product in quite some time. I still want Hakimi back. His versatility could be so useful all over the pitch when we have injury issues or in need of rotation.
