This is the most natural fit imaginable.

contract negotiations should be a breeze. All those guys do is win…

we need RocNation to sponsor us

True, true

Clueless tonight. Deserves to share his starting spot with Gosens

 

[Il Drago]

But i thought he should always start because of his playmaking skills

 

[pupivn]

His form slows down after signing with RocNation

Could have had an assist at the end of the first half if Diogo Costa didn't increase the difficulty level to alien.

Falling down and crying for a foul just before the Porto double chance was enough reason for even his mother to sub him off.

 

[Helenio Herrera]

Pedestrian performance but wouldn't call it terrible. I'm quite content with our LWB rotation, he'll come good eventually

Gosens should start in UCL match. Dimarco can get away in Serie A where not many teams employ pacy tricky winger. In continental matches, his exquisite crossing skill means nothing when opponents' wingers keep skipping past him easily.

Agreed. I believe that's what Spaletti is doing with playing M. Olivera as a left-back over Mario Rui for most CL matches, while Mario Rui typically starts in Serie A. In addition, the cheap fouls these players tend to win in Serie A usually don't work in CL, and I'd much rather have Gosens' physicality and superior defense.

Yeah, he has to, because Gosens is a level below Dimarco these days. He was consistently very good this season, so as long as he doesn't turn to complete shit, he must remain as a starter because we don't have better solution for that role.

Besides, he was our key player. Our game was purely based on his flank and most of times he was directly or in-directly decisive in majority of matches.

No, he shouldn't because he's shit defensively. This isn't a problem against shitters in Serie A but it's a huge issue at top stage. If Onana hadn't made the double save this thread would have been on fire and rightly so.

He had done the same against Lazio last season as well. When he fucks up he looks for the easy way out.

Do we have a better solution to Dimarco? If so, then of course I'm all up for it.

 

[Il Drago]

Defensively? We have a far superior in Gosens and it showed last night. Dimarco is great when we face Serie A teams who sit back and defend and there are no spaces. But in the top games it should be Gosens starting.

I said a better solution, which means in overall what's best suited to this team. But I'm afraid the same guys who think Dimarco doesn't deserve to start, will want Gosens' head in the very near future.

I'm okay with rotating between both of them as long as it's a reasonable selection depending in what we want from that match, but in overall to me Dimarco is an undisputed starter because his contribution in overall is superior to Gosens. We would have both defensive minded fullbacks with Gosens and Darmian, which is fine to me as long as we want to achieve that particular objective out of that clash, but some of you guys are way too overreactive over things.

 

[Il Drago]

It certainly isn't about overreacting. I constantly criticize Inzaghi's decision not to give more starts to Gosens but i realize it's just me.
