❌ Why we should NOT use this XI in our first La Liga game after the break
With this option, we can score no goals at all. Yes, even at home against Eibar.
This starting XI would be a good choice if we needed to uphold our first-time lead against Man City in the Champions League, for example. But not in La Liga where we need to play free-flowing football and use our attacking potential to the fullest.
So, let me describe the negatives of this one:
- No partners for Benzema again: playing him as a lone forward hasn't proved itself yet, to be honest. Even if Jovic is injured, we should look for someone to support Karim upfront (Vinicius is not enough ofc).
- Where is Hazard? He's been training with the ball for a few weeks now, so he should be perfectly fit for the clash.
- Valverde on the right? Yeah, he can play there but he has only practiced it once this season. I'd go for him instead of Modric and put Rodrygo or Marco Asensio on the right.
- Finally, the formation: both Vinicius and Rodrygo/Asensio should play higher up the pitch, especially given that Vini is poor defensively.
What would YOU change here? And what's your dream starting XI for the Eibar clash?
