I find this very hard to digest

FDJ 🫶
Can easily see why Chelsea is up there with most chances created in the league with 2 of their players near top right. Same with Atletico who suddenly don't have scoring problems anymore.
top right Kimmich
Frenkie could be also interpreted as the best here. But they're both very good at it.
I can see our midfield there (enzo-de paul-alexis) but also can see Palacios, I wish he played more for us instead of Paredes
Koke doing this as a 6 is crazy, so underrated
who are the two circles in the bottom left corner lmao
We seriously miss Frenkie, but I am surprised by Romeu. He doesn't try them much, but he is surprisingly very accurate with them. I hope the stories about his knees are true and that we are not stuck with him at this level...
hmmm can see how much Barca must be hurting with FDJ out. Is he their most important player?
Incoming Bayern fans to trash on Kimmich while praising people like Goretzka and Laimer who hide from the ball and are camping ahead. Like sure man, shit on your best midfielder because he is the only one who actually tries to do something.
It looks like Real Madrid found a great replacement for Kroos in Tchouameni and probably learning from his experience as we speak.
One of the key to shut down bayern is to man mark Kimmich 90 per cent of the time he'll keep the ball but the 10 per cent when you can intercept a ball from him, it's a goal opportunity
Bro didn’t want to include any Uruguayan midfielder, having Valverde, Ugarte and Bentancur to choose
So it is true that his passing accuracy is not world class, i still believe we need a playmaker midfielder and Kimmic should go to right back
It makes me a bit sad to think we're no longer in the top right Messi era.
João Neves... Benfica has a fucking gem in him. Hope he develops as expected, what a player.
Kokçu seems more and more as a waste of money. The talent is there, seems like he just doesn't fit the system (whatever system we have - we are playing like shit).
Where Kroos?
I feel like a lot of soccer fans have never fully appreciated just how great a player Koke has been, for over a decade.
How are Through Passes defined here? Because "Through Balls" like OP said in the title is generally a different statistic where virtually nobody completes 3+ of them per game.
The Premier League website has a through balls statistic and this season Paqueta is leading it with 16 so far and Salah's in 2nd with 11.
At 19, João Neves is almost an entire midfield by himself. To have these numbers plus what he adds without the ball, which can be even more impressive, is simply unbelievable.
This is why Argentina won the World Cup. Volume of through passes to guys like Messi dimaria and Alvarez. The team played vertically on the ground better than anyone.
