Deary me, that's a shocker.
Leverkusen DM.
Feel free to dig out your own stats for suitable DMs for comparison.
Only to people with a poor grasp of what high functioning footballers look like
Which defo isn't you. You would say that you are a person with a great grasp of what high functioning footballers look like.
If you hadn't been such a successful chat forum expert, you'd have worked for one of the really big clubs as a scout.
Amusing timing that The Athletic drop this today. Almost exactly the same time as your expert comment:

Rice was signed to be a 6, but has played more as an 8, sometimes as a 6.
Leverkusen.
Any chance that Tchouameni or Camavinnga could be on the move?
He is along with VDV Vicario and Udogie are on the three man shortlist for our players of the season. People who still can't see it baffle me. I think he is an outsider for young player of the year behind the likes of Plamer and Fodden. Not sure what others see but that's cool its part of the fun.
Well, look who got hooked and look who came on

He looked more lively on the ball but once again he is nowhere to be seen when players walk into our box and score.
No point having a DM who doesn’t defend.

I don't know, I feel he's still not fully fit, both mentally and physically. Suspensions, malaria, played so little in AFCON, not selected for national squad after that, all these etc. He needs focus. But I personally don't have patience for him. He has more than enough game time to prove himself.
We are so open on the counter. Our front three are fucking hopeless defensively, as are our FB’s.
I genuinely don’t see what another 6 is going to do to change those things.
Unless the system changes, whoever is the 6 is going to look fucked. Bissouma is defensively very good and also covers ground.
Can I get a 6 that at least gets his foot stuck in and sets a tone, I don't see where he's defensively very good when he's had trouble stopping transition attacks all season, he's not that guy.
He is lazy and switches off all the time. Being strong in 50/50s when the ball is contested isn’t the same as being alive to danger as a sitting midfielder.
Yes, we play an open system that leaves us exposed at the back but Biss frequently fails to tracks runners or jogs back when he should be sprinting. No matter the system, nothing is stopping him from running around or looking over his shoulder.
Clearly Ange wasn’t happy with him as he dragged him off at HT.
He keeps proving Conte right about him in lacking discipline. To think he won a few MOTM in the first few games this season. Disappointing isn't it.
He gets his foot in more than most midfielders in this league bar Palhinha. More than anyone else in our team.
The problem is, bar him and the CB’s were a team that don’t get their foot in enough. Our front three are fucking soft as shit, Maddison and Sarr aren’t contributing much defensively right now and some of the defending from the fb’s is atrocious (like Udogie today).
If we had any decent back ups both fb’s should have been the ones coming off at ht.
