Nihilstjnr:Those games were against Panama and Tunisia. A second string England. And still he didn't look like the KDB we know. |

airmark: How do you mean by this question? Ask Barcelona fans that have been watching him play Also he played CB against arsenal in UCL knockout match IIRC at least that's one popular one Why would I lie? I'm a Madrid fan not a barca fan |

Unlimited22: Can't really see any ratings that match your assertion BTW KDB for belgium played in a midfield 2 with only 3 defenders at the back - you cant expect him to fufill the same tactical role as he does at City - but that's a different discussion

Ibime: He has been like that since his Bayern days especially when he is given any sort of defensive responsibility. Juup initially tried him at the double pivot but this same laziness made them push him to AM where his defensive frailties wont be noticed Leverkusen he played on the left side of the attack He is still a good player but KDB is just better |

Nihilstjnr: Try play Kroos in a midfield 2 and see the result |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by hopefulLandlord: 1:41pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
raumdeuter: He played DM for us in his first year here and we went 22 game winning streak which included a 3-1 win over UEFAlona I don't think a "defensively lazy" player would play DM for us but what do I know? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by hopefulLandlord: 1:43pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
raumdeuter: He played alongside Modrić in a midfield 2 in his first season here and we went on a 22 game winning streak but don't let the facts get in the way |

raumdeuter:Did that many times for Germany at their qualifiers and was often the best player on the pitch. Also, Kroos was pushed to the AM role for Bayern under Hynckes because it was either Schweini or Kroos for the CM role and Schweini can't play the AM role. |

raumdeuter: good thing I've corrected the post before you quoted Like I said, don't let facts get in the way of your diminishing how good Kroosifier is |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by hopefulLandlord: 2:05pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
madrid5:I'm starting to think he's just looking for any excuse to sheet on Kroosifier He even said our being defensively solid that time had little to do with Kroosifier and more to do with Isco and James lol |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by hopefulLandlord: 2:06pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
Nihilstjnr: Lol! I watch 98% of all Kroos games since he joined Madrid and 40% of his games before then Maybe you can answer the question he's refused to answer. what does midfield 2 mean to you? does it mean 4-2-4 formation? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by airmark(m): 2:08pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
hopefulLandlord: When did he play these MANY games as cb as you claimed? Even barca have started looking for mechanics to cover busquets defensive frailties. The last time busquets played as cb, it was just for only 27 minutes. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by diadem10: 2:11pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
raumdeuter:lol. What are you saying sef? Didn't Kroos play in most of the qualifying matches since Schweini retired. Off the top of my head, against Northern Ireland, Czech republic or so. Even before Schweini retired, Kroos has always deputised for him whenever he needed to be rested. At times, it was even Kroos and Gundogan in midfield. So much for following Germany national team. No one is saying Kroos' defensive skill is great but if paired with a defensive pacey box-box CM like Kante beside him, he's good to go. No one asked the likes of Khedira to be rubbish and sluggish at the worldcup coupled with Germany's blunt attack of useless Muller and Werner. Don't let me even start on their ageing defence as well. Kroos was Germany's best player at the recent worldcup and he did that in a 2-man midfield with a rubbish Khedira, just like he did in the qualifiers. I even feel he's underutilised at Madrid and it seems their new coach Lopetuigi is trying to do better with him by using Casemiro as a box-box midfielder while Kroos sits back but Casemiro is too slow for that role, maybe Valverde will be a better complement. |

hopefulLandlord: the meaning of 2 man midfield is self evident... nobody calls 4231 the same as 433. Accept your goof and let's keep it moving.... |
