We look like we've got about 6 players who think they're better than they are, and more important than the team. Ignoring runs, pointless dribbling and chopping back and feinting themselves into no man's land.
If its not a chip/long ball over the top, we're ponderous as fuck. The shape looks massively confused, with players just drifting into the congested half spaces, and one/twos and interplay is virtually nonexistent.
Other than those channel balls there's no penetration at all, nobody wants to/is able to play down the middle, and our entire strike force is an injured 31 year old who's half the player he was two years ago.
We look solid enough at the back. The double pivot - I don't think any two from the three that we've got really works as there's always something missing whatever pairing you come up with.
Front four were all 6/10 as individuals, but 4/10 as collective. It doesn't work, the blend isn't right, tbh they're all in the wrong positions. Neto should be off the right, MGW as the false nine or a ten, then Guedes off the left. Podence centrally drifting right is just fucking pointless.
We've played two shit teams and looked no better than them.
