Sky Analysis - Net Positives

[FFC1987]

Looking at the highlights this morning, and think Bassey's getting more stick than he deserves. Both goals came from him passing to Lukic, who didnt challenge or help out at all. I'm not impressed by Lukic, especially when we have Harrison on the bench. I don't think he'd have been so meek. We played well a lot of the time, but not so well where it counted. 

Sorry, but blaming Lukic for Basseys inability to clear a ball is really unfair. Agreed it's tough for him on the RH side, but he could have done a number of things if the pass wasn't on. Both Castagne, BDR and Palhinha should have been available if Lukic is getting stick.

Lukic had a great game, but he should always be goal side of his man in that scenario. I'm not suggesting the pass was all Lukic's fault, but he should definitely be ahead of his man and absolutely not almost directly behind him.
