Thought they flexed it initially with Bissouma and Kayal rotating.
Kayal certainly pressed higher/highest in the second half out of the three, but the whole team did.
I wouldn’t say Kayal is a Gross replacement, any more than he is a Stephens replacement.
If he does come in as anticipated...
Of course all hypothetical, but I strongly believe he would, because he sits so well.
Both Bissouma and Propper were out of position and did not track the run anything like well enough.
If you pause the point when Lamela shoots, look for the nearest midfield player.
Stephens is integral to...
Let’s see. [emoji2].
Would have thought the second goal immediately disproved that, as the cover was non-existent.
Incidentally who’s the better player you’re referring to?

Because that’s what I said?
The second goal would not have happened with Stephens on the pitch because he tracks very well.
