Henderson was far forward because he was the attacking midfielder of the 3, Fabinho was the No6 Keita was supposed to be the controller, Trent was predominantly sitting a lot trying to help make the play as we employ him in some games
I watched the CIty game, anyone who understands the press and counter press and the system, go and watch it, watch Fernandinho's positioning in conjunction with their other players, he was superbly positioned throughout, Fabinho has improved in not getting ahead of the ball and not charging into situations, but he's still nowhere near taking the right positions off the other 2 midfielders, he just sits quite a lot, too deep, not contributing to a good press and counter press, which again is why he has to make tackles and interceptions, it is a good job he does make them, because he is by far and above all our other players the one who makes them necessary
If Jurgen wants to give up on his own system that's up to him, it appears he has, because Fab is not a midfielder capable of playing the No6 in Jurgen's system, watching City play the system we thrashed them with in 19-20 and any of their midfielder assume the No6 position at times and effortlessly take the right pressing and counter pressing positions off their other players to stop teams playing out as we've been letting sides do all season, then watching Fab and fans of our own club laud his performance, well, it's just like a very bad joke
We can still win trophies despite Fab, because our keeper, defence and forwards are that good
