Carrasco is a quality player but Martinez doesn’t use him right. In his career at Monaco and Atletico Madrid he was used as a proper left winger. He does his defensive duty and then when the team attacks, he is very dangerous coming inside onto his right foot.
Belgium have an abundance of wingers and for whatever reason Martinez wants to play with wingers as wing backs (Meunier is a right back but has always played more like a winger ever since his Club Brugge days). I can understand it because Belgium are not stocked strongly at full back but it doesn’t get the best out of Carrasco.
In my opinion they look better with Vertonghen at left back and then one of the quality left wingers further forward. It looks more balanced and less lopsided.
