Kroos has left a hole in our midfield just like I thought. Camavinga is our biggest miss at this time because of his ability collect the ball from the defense with comfort and distribute. Cama is an undisputed starter this season

The first problem I see is their inability to breakdown teams.They need more creative in the midfield and in that no. 10 role.The second problem that I have noticed is the defence.They need to work on that.Third problem is the role of Mbappe.He seems to be all over the place.I personally believe playing him as a striker is a waste of his talents.But he also need to understand that he must work much harder and be more active if he wants to play as a winger.This teams would cause havoc on a counter attack especially if they are playing against teams that like to keep possession and play high up the pitch like Manchester City.But most teams in Spain are not going to play like Mancity.

[@choongyinchau]

Seems like this season, referees put emphasis on foot-stepping. Yellow cards were given to Modric even when it's accidentally. Likewise Vini got a penalty when his foot was stepped on. Accidental foot-stepping are unavoidable in 50-50 situations. Unlike stud-up challenges onto shins that may be leg breaking, foot-stepping rarely cause serious harm. Can't understand the reason for this change.

[@ntokozosibanyoni1421]

Even a goal by Lewandowski was disallowed because of foot stepping from Kounde in the build up. It's definitely a consistent approach.
