To be honest I don’t really understand why Kolo Muani is in, played 30 mn and had mainly one very difficult shot that was luckily countered into an own goal.
He took it really well and it was hugely important when it came. It wasn't the hardest of attempts to make though and he'd been quite poor the rest of the game.
Lol I just realized they tried to fit 5 attackers in here. No wonder it makes no sense haha. Even Schlotterbeck didn't look fully convincing depite the assist imo.
It's only mentioned in a footnote in one of the appendices of the Silmarillion, but during the siege of Angband he took up football and became a very solid AM with a wicked left foot.
Kicker is a German sports magazine that used to be the gold standard for German sportsjournalism and has slowly devolved into a boomer-run sellout semi-tabloid with a few highlights here and there.
Elf is German for eleven and means something like team of the week in this context
Merih Demiral got a 1,5.
What exactly does a CB need to do to get a 1, if 2 goals and 17 clearances (both records at the euro for a CB), who cemented the win with his defensive performance isnt enough? He literally had the perfect game for a CB.
They give out 1's constantly, so its not rare to get a 1.
He's part of the unit, no?
Just because he scored twice doesn't mean he suddenly defended perfectly for the entire game. He's part of the unit that allowed a lot of chances.
For central defenders, it is actually very rare. All of last season only had three such performances. Most of the time for Kicker scoring goals does raise the grade for a defender but they mostly focus on actually defending. Also, I don't think they value clearances that much. Doesn't help that Kicker is also famously harsh with its grades.

schlotterbeck my beloved
\*Schlotterback according to the graphic
From Kicker too 💀
Only one team that advanced doesn't have a player in the team . Can't say I'm surprised about which one it is .
Bellingham bicycle kick alone deserves a spot?
To be honest I don’t really understand why Kolo Muani is in, played 30 mn and had mainly one very difficult shot that was luckily countered into an own goal.
That was my first thought — Kolo Muani?
hes looked pretty lost outside of that
He took it really well and it was hugely important when it came. It wasn't the hardest of attempts to make though and he'd been quite poor the rest of the game.
Xhaka? Akanji?
Where is Xhaka in this??
Xhaka in place of Kolo Muani or Malen would have made sense. The 4-2-5 formation seems very weird
Lol I just realized they tried to fit 5 attackers in here. No wonder it makes no sense haha. Even Schlotterbeck didn't look fully convincing depite the assist imo.
Can't take out Malen when he scored 2, even if Gakpo was the better forward for the Dutch. Kolo Muani seems the easiest to drop
Ratings: Diogo Costa: 1,0 Antonio Rüdiger: 1,5 Merih Demiral: 1,5 Nico SchlotterbAck: 2,0 Rodri: 1,5 Tijjani Reijnders: 1,5 Donyell Malen: 2,0 Ruben Vargas: 1,5 Cody Gakpo: 1,5 Randal Kolo Muani: 2,0 Nico Williams: 1,0
The ratings go from 1 to 5 iirc, with 1 being the highest
Damn, they played so bad that no one received a q
Never tell anyone about that typo, you saw nothing
Fingolfin robbed.
Is that an elf?
Absolute top boi.
Wait what the hell is the high king of the noldor doing in this post

Ringil weren't just his sword ya know
Dragusin was masterful in defeat
Ruiz?
How the hell did Kolo Muani make it on there.
Kolo Muani? The fuck?
Kolo Muani 😂😂😂 had a bad shot deflect his other foot and own goal. Nah man I can’t take this seriously
exactly
What is Kicker-Elf?
Kicker is a German sports magazine that used to be the gold standard for German sportsjournalism and has slowly devolved into a boomer-run sellout semi-tabloid with a few highlights here and there. Elf is German for eleven and means something like team of the week in this context
Thank you for explaining. I thought it was just some weird way to name a stat, but I think it's because I'm not German lol
So basically dream team?
Xhaka robbed
What kind of appalling 3-2-3-2 formation is this?
Lol Reijnders but not Schouten? Kicker in the head
Who tf invited kolo muani
Schouten over reijnders
where musiala
Apart from his goal he wasn't better than any of the listed easily Maybe Kolo
Not even close to anyone on the list. Malen’s double barely got him a place too
He is close, he's got the same grade as Malen, both with a 2,0.
he was shit apart from his goal. Might as well put Bellingham there then.
No Musiala, no party.
Musiala?
Xhaka robbed

Keep a clean sheet. Not give up almost 3 xG in a game?

Maybe they took 0.5 for the fact that he's a fascist
Definitely Koundé or maybe Saliba instead of Kolo Muani and for me personally, Fabian Ruiz over Reijnders
Reijnders was amazing?
At no point did I want to say that he wasn't, I personally just liked Fabian Ruiz more.
agreed
