The language barrier in this highlights a big problem from This year IMO

You can tell how isolated the team is really. Kim can barely speak a word of it and Medel is even worse. Medel only really has Maximilano and Juan to speak to

Exactly , when they were in the midfield together which happened a few times how did they communicate with each other ?
Kim has been here 2 years now his English should be decent

To be fair to Kim his English has got better over time but he is still not fluent in it, although he interacts with the players more than Medel ever did it seems. I watched us against Man City and the players are all celebrating and then Medel's just isolated?

That's not allways enough , not trying to pick holes or excuses but there is 8/9 minutes of footage here and probably less than 5 english words spoken between 3 big members of our midfield !

No big deal. Happens with every team in the top flight. It's such a multinational game

I remeber that Medel, Maxi and KTC were all going to go to Glamorgan college to learn English, and as far as I can tell through interviews on the Cardiff City YouTube channel and Twitter, KTC is the only one who has been going to class!
