2. Suat Serdar
No one has a bigger part to play on this team than Suat Serdar right now. He was missing for some of those dead-end matches where the attack couldn’t muster a damn thing, and now it’s really a matter of needing a spark to ignite the attack.

That’s always been Serdar. He’s a central midfielder that leads the team in goals scored because we just don’t have a consistent enough goal scorer to compete with him.
Besides that, though, you can see his creativity bursting at the seams. It happened against Leipzig too, albeit to no avail. Serdar has that composure on the ball that’s to die for, he swoops and swerves his way around the press to ignite attacks. The only problem right now is the same as what I mentioned about Raman—he needs something happening around him. He can’t do it all. No one can.
But he can light the fire. And if he lights the fire, then our main man at No. 1 can carry the torch and stop tripping all over himself.
