Remember we played Watford away new years day under poch. 3 nil up after 15 minutes I think we were. Want those days back. Dismantling teams early.
I recall a Palace manager calling us 'animals' back in the late 2010s... forget who it was and exactly what he said... we won narrowly, as I recall, but we run them ragged from start to finish

Edit: it wasn't Palace, it was Watford. Quique Sanchez Flores was the manager

Edit to add a bit more: this was Flores' quote:

We know perfectly what we want to do when we recuperated the ball, we try to play, when we recuperate the ball, we try to put the ball far away – but it was impossible. It was impossible because they are like animals there, trying to beat and recuperate the ball as quick as possible.

Bergvail needs more minutes
Agree big time- I'd argue he's surpassed Benta. Considering the reward of further developing him- a player with undoubtedly top potential, AND Bentancur's contract situation- it would be a mistake to not prioritize his development ahead of Bentancur.

Frank could easily get trapped in too defensive a midfield. Sarr, Benta and Palh is ok, but we'll see more flat offensive displays if we try and play that way regularly.
