RocktheCasbah yeah, hard to point at the manager today. It’s the old system everybody liked last season.
We had possession, and we had territory. The issue here is that Everton and other teams are sitting back, letting us have the ball and then clogging key passing lanes. Odegaard and Saka especially always have two men around them.
This is where Eddie can be more helpful. If he’s doing more lateral movement, it will allow Odegaard, Vieira and Martinrlli to cut into his space a lot more, and destabilise defenses more. Both Jesus and Trossard do this well at the 9.
One positive, even though we are playing the margins with the weak offense, our defense is solid as a rock with the 4 at the back. Zinchenko is an offensive glue, and the other 3 are absolute barriers
