I really hope not , we are blunted and that is not our game , that would be over thinking territory
We never look right with 2 holding. Not when he tried it with Gundogan and not when he’s tried it with Fernandinho. Our structure relies on the bodies forward to give everyone all the passing options and when we are one short the interplay just falls apart. I’d be really discouraged if we tried this again today as we’d probably still get countered and we’d nullify an attack that already struggles to be lethal enough
