In a side that controls possession he's top class. In a side that's reliant on counter attacks and soaking up pressure he's not going to thrive.
That's our fault to be fair. Same reason Sancho is struggling. We don't control games enough at all.

Also Pogba is a big reason France control games

France don’t play to control possession. They largely soak up pressure and counter. Same with when he was at Juventus.

Pogba looks like he's struggling in there. Much better with Kante.
Been the only France player to do anything good as of yet.

The set-up the manager is using is killing them because France essentially have 1 less man out of possession. Which in my opinion is a terrible idea against Spain.

Kante wouldn't stop this.

Pogba is the only one managing to keep possession and find a man. Everyone else is just giving it straight back to Spain. Really not much he can do.

France really just can’t hold onto the ball. Every time it gets up to Benzema or Mbappe they have absolutely no support whatsoever

Chasing shadows all night the France midfield’s discipline will soon go I reckon.

Our tactics allow spain to constantly outnumber us in the midfield, terrible idea it's their best area.
