nkeyiah is a great example of the difference talent and fit make. He doesn’t excel at either in our starting 11. So he will never likely unseat Jesus and co. Contrast with defense where guys like Saliba, White, Tomi, Tierney, Zinchenko are in a legit tussle for 3 positions because they have the right talent and fit.
Talent/fit can also be about identifying the best file gif a player. By keeping Xhaka and experimenting with him, we’ve found a better fit. Nketiah at 9 might still have better fit but the talent will never be there to be a top 14-15 player. But we do need a squad of 18-22 players. If not him there, then who?
