Fullbacks

3.2. Was all kinds of terrible, same as everyone else, in the first half. It’s hard for me to even single out what any one defender did worse than the other because they all seemed to be so terribly surprised by this match, like it snuck up on them out of nowhere. He did improve in the second half, for what that’s worth.. RB. Arsenal. STEPHAN LICHTSTEINER

SEAD KOLASINAC. 3.0. Yikes. Again, I think we can chalk the issues with Kolasinac up to playing as a fullback, and not a wingback. He does not defend well enough to be used as a fullback and the sooner we can get around that, the better. He didn’t attack well either, go figure, because he was stretched too thin. Just a terrible match all around and he wasn’t spared.. LB. Arsenal
