Jacuet looks absolute class, particularly with Ron alongside him on the right. The doom and gloom about the defence could have been debunked!
{Ed666's Note - JJ is so good you don’t notice he’s there. That’s the mark of a great defender. Hes a rolls Royce.. Richard Hughes did something right.

I'm probably alone in this but I actually think Dom and wirtz can't both play at the same time unless one of them is playing RW.
At the moment they both aren't very disciplined from a positional standpoint and I'd argue that forcing them to be loses their best attributes.
I see wirtz in the mould of kaka, a player who is a classic Brazilian ten in the sense that he floats around links midfield and attack and constantly finds space in the final third.
Dom is basically Gerrard before Rafa but with zero defensive game. High engine. Long distance threat, finds spaces by arriving late.
I think their lack of positional discipline means they can't both play cm because it basically leaves macca, grav or trey doing too much work. I'd push one of them (doesn't matter which) onto the right wing, that keeps the midfield stable but will also allow the player to cut into space in final third and still be creative or goal threat. As a bonus it might teach Dom discipline the same way it did for Gerrard.

Leoni, on his one outing also looked like the dogs. There may well be genuine competition to get a game at CB.
{Ed666's Note - let’s hope he can get up to speed when he comes back because as you say we’ll have some serious ballers at the back and that can only bode well.

Jacket is absolutely class and only getting better definitely gt the better of the highly rated young French cb's, we nearly got yoro who's nowhere near jacket.

I do notice that he's there all the time though ed0666, he consistently plays line breaking passes with ease and is always in the right place to stop goal scoring chances, he sticks out like a sore thumb as pretty much our best performer besides Gakpo since the start of the season.
