Yep everyone overrates the Poch team. It was just exceptionally well balanced, Eriksen and Dele’s flaws where covered by having the likes of Dembele and Waynama behind them.
We have no wingers. So play 3 strikers in attack and wonder why we don’t generate any chances. Yes we have injuries but even if Kudus and Odobert were fit we still have only two wide players. We also have no passing DM, Gray isn’t a pure 6 and Palhinha is a destroyer.
There is no alignment between squad and manager. It’s all square pegs rounds holes. We only need 2 of Richy, Solanke and Muani and only one of them on the pitch but we have to play them due to our stupid squad building.
It’s hard to see a worse balanced squad. We don’t have the worse quality squad but we have the most misaligned one. Our squad actually reminds me of when the papers put out a list of footballers in the final year of their contract and it’s just a random assortment of players.
