It's what happens when our approach to games is passive and trying to manage it with minimal risks.
Teams just try to stay in the game and know we don't create too much, if they can force our passing game sideways.
Then you have results like Everton and United, providing perfect opportunities for dodgy ref decisions into the mix.
I'm so disappointed with people like Phil and Bernie, in particular.
Players I love, but are selling themselves and us way short right now.
Bernie was abysmal and Phil ignored, whatever the instruction was, Jack certainly wasn't impacted by it?
We miss Stones and Dias so much.
I feel so sorry for Haaland, he is doing everything to get involved, but the time must come where we adapt to him or he will lose the joy of being here pretty rapidly, feeding on scraps.
Perhaps ditch the need for two wide men stretching the pitch as wide as possible, to try and create the overloads, and go with an extra man in the centre. It's clear why Bellingham is wanted for the engine room.
Never thought I would ever say this, but would sell Bernie this window and try to get someone else in at left back and put Cancelo as the extra man in midfield?
By the way, Rodri is the best midfielder of his type in the entire world right now.
Something else I never thought was possible from him.
Immense and first name on the team sheet.
We are looking stale, similar to Liverpool, but with the resources to do something about that quickly.
