I don’t see a big turn around coming regardless of his xGF. I’m not hoping for failure but not optimistic.
I don't recall anyone saying it was "a good situation", I'd characterize the extremely optimistic as thinking it's a slight improvement, or Lucic might be marginally useful because of his physicality.
