We have been pretty dire all season.
We played better midweek. More movement and fluidity.
Haaland up front makes us predictable and easy to stop
 
I want to give credit to Bournemouth. They've been stellar and each of their player has been really good.

I don't think we've played badly, but some of our players are having a subpar season. Our midfielder especially used to be our strongest asset is, now, by far our weakest (Bernardo today has played well and it is my MotM after Ederson). People will complain, but I think the tactics from Pep have been good, we've got to good positions, they have created only after our own mistakes...but the players are just not at the level they should.
 
What’s the point of Bernardo playing? He gets the ball in advanced positions with Haaland and Foden ahead, but always slows down to show off some skills and pass backward!

Savio’s absence has made me realise that he keeps the left hand side of the opponents quiet somewhat.

Bernie and Foden are different types of players. They are not going to immediately ghost past a player. Hence, no fear of leaving space in my mind of the FB. They’re not drawn out to the wing therefore leaving space in the middle.

The lack of wingers is a big issues but one more half left. Can only have faith they can dig deep. I’m assume some of the players are playing through pain at the moment.

Works a lot harder than he gets credit for, similar to what Grealish does on the left.
