Press resistance is great and all but when your forward passes are poor, poor vertical/diagonal passes, you have no impact in the attacking third and susceptible to get caught out defensively.
It just makes it more evident you’re not good enough to start week in week out for us.

Kovacic isn’t the only one time that is aesthetically pleasing but has no substance.
Jorginho and Emerson are also both culpable, both probably won’t be with us next season.

Frank Lamapard took an indirect dig at two players in particular post FA Cup Final.
‘We decided we wanted to make it like a slow afternoon stroll, play 5 aside 5 yards to you 5 yards back to me. Stopped switching the play and stopped playing through the lines.’

Ask yourself this in how many big games has Kovacic had a top performance in?
Whilst a supposedly ‘non-aesthetically’ pleasing player in Kante has had countless top big game performances.
Substance over aesthetics always prevails.

Now let’s look at two aesthetically pleasing footballers in Kovacic and Thiago.
The difference between these two players is that Thiago has substance. Thiago is the complete midfielder and defensively is far clear of Kovacic.

Ultimately people’s love affair with Kovacic and his aesthetic are blinding them.
Next season there’s going to be a lot of changes with the aesthetically pleasing players with no substance we have.
Some will be sold and some will have less starts.

In conclusion Kovacic is 26 years old he’s still got time to improve and I’ve got no doubt especially under Frank Lampard, Kovacic could add substance into his game.
