Calafiorication

Rohit

He probably has one of the best first touches in this squad. So easy on the eye in possession. He will get better defensively. He is too eager at times but he is a crowd lifter.

Clrnc

Rohit Don't really mind him being beaten by Dibling today. That guy is ridiculously quick and will school most fullbacks.

Apart from that this guy is top top notch. His first touch is always preparing for what he gonna do next and he is taking inverted to an all new level. It always looks like we are playing with 12 men because of what he does

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Was good apart from a few lapses of concentration.

Also, he needs to be a little less rash/aggressive in the tackle. One of his tackles was wild and he could have easily done his ACL.

What a talent though.

goon

Great on the ball and wins the ball loads. Needs to give himself a bit more space defensively and not get too tight, especially against pace and he’ll shut that side of the game down too.

CPM

He's a young colt who needs to be reined in a bit, but his talent and personality are unbelievable. So aggressive and fun to watch.

Gurgen

This guy is awesome. Some rough edges to polish but he just oozes class.

IBL

Quite the beast in the air which is always helpful. Love his aggression and urgency to move forward.

JazzG

Guy is so classy, we've got a massive talent and character here.

I think his 1v1 defending needs a bit of work, he defends like a CB at times out wide i.e. gets real tight but he's 22 and probably not played this position often so he'll figure it out.

banduan

Needs to stay as FB. Wasted as CB with that touch.

Gazza M

he has the 'recovery slide tackle and gather' star. love that technique

Clrnc

Gazza M the Joel Campbell tackle

MistaT

Hope we can get Timber back vs Salah.

Not sure I want Cali tasked with that.

Claudius

MistaT Tomi is back in time for that. And then can return to regular activities

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Claudius brutal.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

I think eventually his final position will be CB as his lack of pace will be telling.

Having said, he is the 3rd youngest player in the squad after MLS and EN so maybe can get better at positioning to counter his lack of speed.

Claudius

Sicario2 - Tier 1 he looks like Zinchenko on defense. Let’s see how he develops. I love his offensive attributes a lot though. Which I weigh 60/40 in importance even for a fullback

CPM

Calafiori has a good amount of ‘wasted movement’ in his running right now. It hasn’t hurt him before because of his aggression and coordination but he will need to iron it out at the very top level. He’ll never have top fullback pace, but he should be able to move better than he does now, our strength and conditioning staff are top with that kind of stuff.

Claudius

Calafiori and Timber are the reason I am hoping we have a Bayern rematch in the knockout rounds. Last season Bayern could stay organized in front of what was seemingly a tired team that tried to pass its way through. These two will give us more directness on the ball, ability to get past defenders and push them back.
