He is clearly a good footballer but doesn't have the grit of Martinez or arujo and arguably even Eric garcia who is smaller . He is like stegen in defense, good somewhat but doesn't impart fear in attackers especially when it comes to physical contact. U cannot play as a defender with a suit on.. even the classiest defenders of all time like Nesta and Maldini were as gritty as it can be when needed. Well.. young. He has the age advantage.

Stones was the same when he moved to City, and he was already 22. Cubarsi is fine in physical duels. He usually gets done by dribbling/pace

Don't like what I've seen from the Araujo - Cubarsí pairing so far, end of last season included.

I get that Flick wants to solidify a CB pair for the XI, but I think Christensen should be more involved. We know he has a good partnership with Araujo, and might just suit Cubarsí better aswell, not to mention he can play LCB so Cubarsí can stay on the right.

If nothing else, then maybe just to take some load of a young kid's shoulders(if he needs it?)

Not a good game from him.

He is better at RCB but Araujo is so damn awful on the ball he can play there.

Also missing the organisation of Inigo and missed FDJ on front of him as hold better shape in team.
