Had 0 doubt about Kumbulla. When you mark Lewandowski out of the game in a must-win match, you've proven yourself. Him being outpaced by some Norwegian winger in EL from the halfway line has nothing to do with his defending skills. That's just bad tactics.

He was also much shakier early in the season. Even his teammates were screaming at him during games because he was insecure and making silly mistakes. Now he's rock solid.

Mourinho deserves a lot of credit too. This is a guy who has coached countless world class defenders and he knows what it takes. Kumbulla is lucky to be coached by a legend like this.

Agree there with you but we were signing a different tune on Mourinho a few months back.

No, he played bad that game against Bodo. And the problem with that highlight was the fact he let the pass run past him without even trying to intercept it, which he could easily do if he slid for it. You have to be honest about when you play bad so you know how to improve.

But everyone has bad games. And can improve

He 100% is worth that, 20 year old who is homegrown so that's the going rate. PL has so much money that's not even that bad a deal.

Balaj and Roshi both got out with red cards at the same match.

It's interesting that out of all the Albanians in the top leagues no one is injured. That used to be a big problem early in the season. They were very injury prone.

I think they are getting used to professional football.

Bare-Asllani will dominate a lot of midfields in the future!
