Selection Analysis
Goalkeepers
Rating: 8 out of 10.
The only weakness I could see through this richly talented midfield was a player who is a proper distributor of the ball. A player who knows when to hold the play, when to slow it down and how to bring the other team-mates in the game. Maroune Fellaini at the moment certainly doesn’t look anywhere near to be capable of doing that and thus Belgium could be seen struggling against sides who play a high pressing game. But to analyze as a whole, on paper Belgium still have an embarrassment of riches in midfield.
