I know it sounds crazy, as we won the treble with him, but it is/was the poor squad construction from Txiki and co. In my eyes, we need an athletic as-heck midfield to make up for Haaland's lack of pressing from the front, and currently, we have the opposite of that. In Txiki's defense, and in retrospect as I wasn't a big fan of the idea of signing him at the time, the Rice offer makes a lot of sense. Hence why, I'm so adamant about the idea of giving Nunes a run in the middle. We desperately need some legs in there.
