That one pass from nunes to haaland (where haaland smacked it high and wide) is the kind of pass I scream to play about 7 times a game that never ever happens. He's really impressed me so far tonight.

He and Foden have been the two best players by a mile so far.

It's not a midfield problem, it's the whole shape, which he sets up. We throw too many bodies towards the ball leaving us badly exposed. When you've got a shape and a press that leaves us completely exposed every single time if we don't win every single duel, the shape needs to change.

Kovacic goes towards the ball, gvardiol goes towards it, Rico is still upfront somewhere and 2 simple passes later it's a 2v2 at our centre backs. That's peps fault.

Kamikaze stuff . Could be 3-3

Struggling to score against the least energetic team we have played this season and conceding anything that looks a half chance. What's there not to enjoy, we lost all seriousness to us as a team.

Agreed. It is 100% a system/style of play issue.
