What we've obviously needed since the arse end of 19-20 is an actual DM with a DM and midfielders reading of the game, positioning and understanding of who is their man and when they absolutely can NOT leave them
The No6 was absolutely key in consistently doing that in Fab's absence, and it made a massive difference to the quality of our collective press and counter press, Bajcetic was equally as incapable as Fab at doing it also
Fab was never a DM he was obviously bought to play a high destroyer role, which lasted all of about 15 games, when that got rumbled and we started using him as an actual DM and he simply never had the reading of the game positioning and understanding of who was his man and when he absolutely could NOT leave them, Casemiro in the 21-22 Champions League final being the most glaring example of how costly it so often proved and he did it repeatedly
Let's just all hope this new lad is a proper DM
