Meunier is the usual right wing back and he was unfortunately suspended and because Martinez only took one player capable of playing at right back and right wing back, he was left to having to use Chadli there. Right back out of possession and right winger in possession. I thought he did as good as he could being played out of position.
Lukaku’s positioning against Brazil was superb playing as more of right wing forward. Last night he was more of a target man and I think it didn’t suit him playing the role. He is better when he can pull towards the channel into space and run at speed. He wasn’t able to do it that much last night, had he been able to he could have stretched Umtiti more.
