It’s true thou isn’t it… if you really think our current system is only being played, because we failed to get Cucurella or Gomez isn’t up to scratch, then that’s a nonsense. Everything Pep does is deliberate.

Pep recently said at a presser that we're playing the way we are because we lack flying fullbacks who can get up & down the pitch, & it's something he's looking to rectify in the summer. His words mate...It’s true thou isn’t it… if you really think our current system is only being played, because we failed to get Cucurella or Gomez isn’t up to scratch, then that’s a nonsense.

It’s actually due to having Haaland, we’ve lost an extra body in midfield during the build up because Haaland is sitting on the last man rather than coming short.One of the full backs plays next to rodri so we still have an overload in the middle. The left back spot is now effectively a left sided centre back and the right back is now an holding midfielder. Pep did the same at Bayern when he signed lewandowski.Great argument you put across there. Have we got any decent left backs? No we haven't ergo we need to change formation to maximise the attributes of the playing squad. It's not rocket science
Sorry mate had wrote this out already and took me a while to find it.

Was glad Chelsea bought him, now they want rid injuries being the main problem, nobody is going to pay good money for him, only to find he can not compete with the stand in even when fit.

I'm sure he's fantastic, but he looks like a knob. I am okay with him playing for Chelsea.

Just got sent off.When fit he's a fantastic left-back and as good as there is. Issue is, is that he seems to struggle to put a long run of games together. At least for Chelsea.
