I know they are going for his aerial threat, but they should get him pulling into the channels and running at the defenders too, his movement has already caused trouble when he's done so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD nawrat Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Belgium remind me a bit of us in terms of their passing play (Not quite as possession oriented of course) and their quick transitions. Playing good stuff so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Still a lot of these Japan players playing in the J-League with a bunch also in Germany. Given how well they've generally played (final 10 of the Poland game aside), can argue for some of these players getting some handy moves after the tournament ends.

Eh, his touch is actually a lot better than he's given credit for. Even then he was trying to play that straight though, nearly worked before it was picked off. There's a perception still around him, despite the fact he's loses the ball to a poor touch considerably less per game than Salah, Mane and Jesus for example, and at the same rate as Aguero and Firmino Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willian and Neymar will give them nightmares Meunier is dodgy defensively true but at least he's sort of playing his position. Half the time Carrasco is going walk-about and popping up in the centre of the box, going to leave him absolutely miles out of position on the break, so he wont even be in position to make a really **** attempt at tackling Neymar.
