This guy is a deadbeat. But the club or manager keep trotting him out game after game. No wonder he doesn't give a fuck. He knows he'll play the next game no matter what.

Not a serious football club to persist with this guy.
 
As I said in the match thread, it doesn’t matter who the DM is in this system they will get exposed and look awful because the manager is asking so much of them. First half it was him last night, second bentancur and they both looked poor (it isn’t even bentancur’s position anyway but that’s another story).

The are basically a one man midfield asked to cover an impossible amount of space. Go watch MOTD2’s analysis of it after the Leicester defeat and it illustrates it perfectly.

They honestly don’t stand a chance. The other two midfielders bomb forward so that when the opposition easily move the ball through their press the DM has more than one player to deal with (and that’s before even mentioning the fullbacks being isolated because the wingers are so high and wide away from goal when we lose the ball). It’s the tactics and system.

How was this the case last night? It was a flat midfield with 0 gaps?
 
Him & Bentancur are just too flakey; can't be relied upon and they're taking Sarr down a level with them.

Add in Maddison being Mr 33% and no tactical prowess in the dug-out and it's no wonder we have no control in games.



Not for the first time; last night our defense were just left with too much to do, meaning that being breached was inevitable.

Whatever he could have been for us, it’s not happened

Looked like an incredible player when he first started playing for Ange, then the suspensions hit and the fall of has been scary.

We aren’t getting relegated, give the minutes to Gray and Bergvall

Fuck it, I’d give Hall from the academy some minutes too.
