I’m just completely baffled by it. Used to be it was safest place to lose the ball dribbling in the final 3rd or into the oppositions box because the team was set to press so well. Or just logically the opposition are so far from goal. Instead we’re just playing slow and sometimes monotonous football. We still lose the ball and get countered as will always be the case for top teams going for a win every week. It’s like he’s after 99% control and it’s impossible.
As shown when Rodri played a poor pass against Everton it happens no matter how good you’re. I’d have preferred Rico to have been playing as a fullback as one he might have been able to get back and 2 he could have linked up more with Mahrez and we know how good he can be when he’s got a player overlapping to provide a decoy. Instead Rico(who looks superb) is in midfield playing 10/15 yard passes probably perfectly to instruction making it even more congested and narrow. Strikes me of worrying too much about largely inferior sides than going for it and it’s simply not working.
