Not bad for a so called poor midfield recruitment.
But again, as Jurgen also alluded to in his post match press conference, because our press and counter press was and remains absolutely nowhere near our 19-20 levels those interceptions were only necessary because of that and our letting them having too much of the ball, the stats you and CCTV praise Fabinho for are only necessary for Fab to accumulate because the press and counter press is nowhere near our 19-20 levels with him in the side
CCTV posted a raft of meaningless stats about how Gomez was world class when our press and counter press was so brilliant he had nothing to do except be first to the long hopeful balls we reduced our opponents to, and it's very clear to see how that turned out, you lot need to check the stats for those games, our CBs were almost entirely redundant in so many of them
