Active defensively
Tahirovic had two tackles (two won), one clearance and one interception in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Qatar.
Analysis: Tahirovic had some decent defensive volume throughout Wednesday's match, but that is about all he did. He wasn't active going forward in any noticeable way and struggled for impact on the match. With matches only getting harder in the future, Tahirovic offers limited upside.
Poor showing Thursday
Tahirovic recorded two interceptions in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Switzerland.
Analysis: Tahirovic struggled to get much going Thursday, as the midfielder played 63 minutes, but was left with little to show. His only significant stat would come as a few interceptions, then completing 20 of his 21 passes while committing three fouls. He was a bit more effective in the defense in their opener, but has generally struggled in his two World Cup starts thus far.
Takes one shot in draw
Tahirovic had one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Canada.
Analysis: Tahirovic took one shot off target but didn't do much else. As a central midfielder, he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside in most formats, particularly due to his holding role.
