Agree with most of this. We still haven't resolved how we set up when Rodri is not playing but am confident Pep can solve this issue. Kova has been mosty excellent, Bernie can play deeper if needed. It will only be a problem against the better teams because we will just overwhelm most of the weaker teams.
I thought yesterday United actually played better than they did in the Cup Final but didn't get the breaks this time. But we were also better yesterday than we were in the Final, even with a depleted team.
