There's just no energy in the team right now. They are all either playing on fumes or suffering with injuries. We're not pressing from the front as a unit so it's easier for teams to play out against us. This then puts the midfield under pressure as there isn't one of them out there with an ounce of defensive know-how and a serious lack of legs trying to cover too many holes. It's like watching headless chickens run around chasing the ball. No real leader in the defense without Ruben to help keep things together in that area of the pitch either not to mention a serious lack of pace when playing that suicidal high-line. It's no wonder Ederson thinks he has to play sweeper-keeper all the time.
