Next Stop Charlotte, North Carolina!!!

To take on Chelsea. The North American tour continues.

Why I think Carlo is seriously contemplating a starting role for Arda Guler.

Shades of Ozil? Of Odegaard? Or Guti? Maybe all three. The young Turk seems a more natural fit on the right, has goals in him, tracks back on defense, can play a deeper role and will be the new set piece and corner taker when he’s on the pitch. This last aspect is key especially with Kroos gone and no obvious replacement available. Whether it’s a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, Guler seems versatile enough to adapt. The obvious victim here is Rodrygo. What do ya’ll think? Here’s what Kiyan has to say as well.

Poll

Should Guler start over Rodrygo?

The cavalry will be here soon.

Reminder that this pre season is to test out certain things, work on fitness and give young players the exposure they need. Everybody else can win the pre-season trophy. No need to fret over this Clasico loss. As Dani Carvajal once said……..
