Downside of playing a high tempo style and not rotating a lot. Even with no European football it takes a toll on the players since we do not rotate a lot. We had similar mid season dips under Poch as well.

Two of the biggest drop offs for me are Udogie and Porro. We just aren’t seeing the runs like we did earlier on, which was integral to our attack before, and I think Udogie’s recent mistakes may have been fatigue related.
 
Juve fans always did say Bentancur was always very shaky under a press.
Perhaps he wasn’t as exposed to that under Conte as we didn’t really play through the midfield.

Either way, it’s clear he isn’t a distant relation of a lone anchor/6 in this system.
