Full-Backs

7.2. Incredibly effective throughout. Showed a lot of creativity on the attacking side and didn’t suffer defensively either. Was oddly deceptive in his attacking play, using simple moves to juke away from his defenders. I often times question if he can play fullback at this level anymore, but after seeing this, I’m willing to reconsider. He was really good, and it’s a shame to see him injured.. RB. Arsenal. STEPHAN LICHTSTEINER

SEAD KOLASINAC. 7.8. At one point in this match, I sent out a text that simple said “Kolasinac is f****** amazing.” He has such deceptive speed, such deceptive directness (if that’s even a thing) and he is crazy unselfish. His defending can, of course, use some pointers, but I’ll take him as is any day of the week. He’s such a weapon that it’s crazy to think there are people out there who think he isn’t good enough.. LB. Arsenal
