The fluidity and balance through the team is currently back to 2018 levels.
Pep and the players deserve a lot of credit for it.
There is an energy in the side that is very welcome, suggesting the players feel a lot more comfortable with the tweaks in the system and personnel.
Walker's pace was always vital to us and he had a strong first half of the season, but he was always going to be in trouble if we ever found a player who can get back in and also join up inside the with midfield.
We essentially have a two-man advantage at all times in the middle now thanks to Cancelo, who can rely on two great feet and get up and down the pitch.
With the false nine also dropping in, the space out wide for the wingers must be a dream.
One game at a time...
My only concern remains Jesus. He is forcing the issue and making all the wrong motions. He is coming far too short for the ball and running into the lanes of others.
I'd prefer to see him utilised far more out wide.
