Has Lukeba made a big improvement this season? He hasn't played that much in previous years, apparently hasn't played forU21 NT team yet and I don't remember you hyping him much previously. Isn't that tall for a CB either. At what level do you see his potential?
Nice was very disappointing, not sure what the problem is, but for some reason they seem a lot less dynamic than Lille, who Galtier was able to make champions. Obviously Dante has very little career left, but they would probably need to do something about the midfield. Lemina and Scheiderlin are okay players, but not really top players who can take a team to the heights of winning top domestic and European titles.
Lukeba has been spectacular. His play with the ball was always great but he has improved a lot without the ball too in terms of defending. I didn't expect him to make such an impact.
His potential is suddenly very high because his deficiencies have been erased just like that.
As for Nice give Galtier a little time. It's his first year and already Nice has a decent chance of qualifying for the CL.
You see certain young players exploding under him (Gouiri, Todibo, Thuram) and some making progress (Kluivert).
His midfield has one nice player (Thuram) and a bunch of decent players (though Rosario is more than decent).
He still has a plan A and no plan B (counter). But his plan A is hard to stop when he has quality.
Yes Dante needs replacing too.
