Most of the team were poor last night & the tactical shape also fell apart.
When Pep came here, he discovered that we needed more pace & at times physical size, atheleticism & youth, in the defence in particular & brought in the players to give us those options.
For us to maintain & improve, unless we spew all the cups & just go for the title, we need to bring more of that into the midfield.
Imo we have dodged a bullet with Jorginho. Another slow, pass recycling weakling, will not prevent the kind of thing we saw last night. All players get caught out, trying passes in tight spots, no matter how good or clever they are.
Having more pace to run away from it & more athleticism to recover it, minimises the risk when it goes wrong.
The energy of players like Foden, would help the current bunch rest more, by decreasing their workload, but we had Fernandinho legging it about at fullback weekend, instead.
