Grey back to playing midfield, isn't he?

But I have to say, I am EXTREMELY dissapointed in Frank for putting again Palhinha-Bentancur duo out there.
Bentancur these days is total fucking shit. Nothing player. Deadbeat. Defensively missing, clinically afraid of the ball, shortest and safest passing only. WHY ? Why start him and Palhinha together? He literally doesn't even solidify defense.

I mean we became even more defensive now- instead of just Palhinha-Benta CM duo we now took proper #10 out and started with extra #8.

Gonna be painful watching. But hope we can clinch it somehow.

If Palh is at CB though it’s a different situation, not that I’m a fan of Bentancur so much…
 
Not going to freak out until I see the shape on the pitch rather than just a team sheet.

But just looking at the players listed themselves. Fucking hell is our squad weak.
 
Don't like to question Frank so soon, but this is a strange selection, IF? Pally ends up as a centre back and Archie ends up at LB for most of the game and Xavi on the bench, in a game I would have thought would have suited him perfectly to gain some confidence in the 10 role?

Lets see!

COYS!!

Sarr’s gone from one of the manager’s favourites to being regularly benched for a worse player, it’s a shame. I think Bentancur’s tricked Frank into thinking he’s good because he’s mostly tidy on the ball.
 
Good to see Bergvall back. Same with Gray even if it’s at fullback. I hope he doesn’t just become a utility player.

I wanted to see Sarr get a game again, I’m not really sure what happened there.
