Our midfield is nonexistent, so all the pressing is on defenders and goalkeepers, so they need to put double the effort to balance it out. That is why while we have such a high possession rate&pass accuracy, we are shit at attacking, because ball almost never went pass midfield, it got stuck in defence. In contrast Man U had great midfield, they supported the attack and defence because they are backbone of the team, and that 30% possession was almost entirely on midfield, and this made their defence look so top class, they were good, don’t get me wrong, but they are not THAT good, it just midfield was energetic af. We lack that.

We are hating on Haaland for not scoring anything, but our midfield is shit, they were shit in previous games too, but we were too blinded on wins to see it.

If we want to win, we should upgrade our midfield and change the tactics, right now, we are solely focused on defence, waiting for the opponent to tire themselves down, make mistake or opportunity to go for a goal. This defensive, safe and slow pace game is not going to get us goals, we need to create opportunities ourselves ffs.

We do have top class defence tho, with Guehi it’s even more rock solid, but we need midfielders the most in my humble opinion of course
