10 - Lamine Yamal

[MonteCuler]

Elche is a newly promoted side. Not a question of not trusting Roony vs Elche imo.

Newly promoted but very good. Were also dominant in segunda last season. They have 3rd most possesion behind Barca and Madrid in La Liga

One of these 3 attackers will need to get dropped based on form.

Raphinha was in same form before injury anyway.

They will most likely be rotated but none of them can do that RW role as Flick would want other than Yamal so doubt he is dropped.

Raphinha brings much more workrate. Lamine will need to do far better the way he is playing. Probably he participates the least defensively also.

If double CL winner Vinicius can be subbed early as tactical decision, so can Lamine obviously. Or benched from the start.

This is a game of standards. Ferran is performing 50 times worse than Lamine. Rashford also just had an anwful game masked with a goal. Dropping either one of them would make more sense. Also both press like room temperature iq morons

Ferran runs far more. For a team that has pressing as do all approach... this counts a lot.

Lamine has to get back to scoring key goals and beating his man 1 vs 1 frequently. And making key passes. Not doing anything even half as good as he did it last season.

Raphinha wasnt great before injury or looked same work rate as last season either.

Lamine just scored a key goal this game. As for 1v1 again he is playing injured because whole team is injured and his absence would completely destabilize the team. If you are questioning his ability to beat Elche fullback then you are not fully aware of what a player he is

Yeah, compared to his last season version he was supbar in this, compared to the workrate and defensive effort of Rapshford and Lamine, a whole different level.

I don't place much value of playing injured thing. If he plays, he is fit to play. If he plays injured it means Flick is an idiot, I doubt this very much.

On this season alone Yamal has more tackles/interceptions than Raphinha and more recoveries also.

You are over playing how much Raphinha does and how little Yamal does.

You think Lamine presses more than Raphinha? And does as well defensively? Nowhere near.

 

[Skalman]

Its not just that he was very bad ,his body language and work ethic doesn't exactly scream elite talent

Yamal works defensively and as said has more defensive contributions than Raphinha this season.

You massively over play it.

Problem with Yamal is not that he is not playing at Mbappe level. His problem is that he thinks he is a star and if you are a star you have to show it. That's all.

Raphinha thinks he is a star also...
