💭 Vincent Kauta Jr: "This option seems to be dangerous enough."
💭 Cyril Smith Adu: "This option is good but I'd like Marcelo over Mendy."
💭 realmadridfan1626805710879547401: "Asensio is not good as a starter, but he could destroy everyone off the bench."
💭 ernesto gonzalez: "I say Hazard. Give him a chance. Then if he doesn't do well, put in Asensio."
