Genuinely think the midfield was as pressing a concern as the striker issue. Our downfall consistently wasn’t just our lack of goals - it was our inability to control games and retain possession. Eriksen turning into an old man and then relying on players like Fred and The Scottish Player killed us. Obviously it was one game against a poor Palace side but Mount and Amrabat made such a big difference the other day and I couldn’t help but come away from it with a lot more optimism about the rest of the season.

Bigger need is having players who can come in that fit the system. There's not a like-for-like replacement for Varane so the team typically looks shit without him in it (as do the results). We'll see how it goes without Lisandro. Fingers crossed. Need both Varane/Lisandro to mount a title challenge but early as it is, that looks gone now anyway absent of full pts between now and City visit then a win in that. Quote:
Remains to be seen this year whether that was personnel or system. If Mount + Ambrabat can't make it work, probably system. |

There's not many other top teams across Europe (if any!) that wouldn't see a significant drop in quality if one of their first-choice centre-backs was out for a prolonged period of time. A big difference in this regard between us and City is that the drop in quality between our first-choice centre-backs (Varane and Martinez) and the backups (Maguire, Lindelof and Shaw) is so steep. Exacerbating this, is the point you've identified around systems, as none of our backups can come in and effectively replicate the system of play that our first-choice centre-backs operate best in, i.e. ball-playing centre backs that are comfortable in possession and build attacks from deep. City, of course, have a squad in which every player is bought to fit the same system. Be interesting to see who Ten Hag picks to replace Martinez, as I personally think Maguire is a better partner for Varane than Lindelof, whereas Lindelof has seemed a better partner for Martinez than Maguire has. |
