You can make a case for them starting if they've got an understanding with the keeper which goes back years and years. If you want to play a different keeper, you may as well put some fresher legs in the back line as well. If the keeper has lost it you have to get rid, you can't afford more clangers or play deeper to compensate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_jagster Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 2 minutes ago, brez22 said: Reflective of the wider picture of there not being many top quality strikers out there at the moment. Not helped by some of the more prolific strikers like Benzema, Haaland, Osimhen, Immobile not being there. And that lots of teams are happy to play without them so there are fewer forwards in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched him since he was at Barcelona in 2008 and at various other clubs and for Uruguay at the WC in that time and he's simply a utility man. CB/FB/WB, defensively minded. Had a good career I guess. Edited November 24, 2022 by craigcwwe 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunkerossian Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Uruguay couldn't afford a high back line, and don't really have a creative midfielder a la Modrić- they are all box-to-box or defensive MF-s. They prevented Korea from using their pace, and threatened from long passes and set pieces. As a fan of South Korea, I will take the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
