Fab only works with a senior experienced mid either side of him and can cause us problems even then, but works more often than not with experience either side of him, his passing is still a problem when the opposition sit back and pick everyone but him up.
Hendo can work with any 2 of Thiago, Keita, Milner or Jones (none really work with Elliott and he also fucks up Mo and Trent)
Thiago needs Hendo and any of those listed directly above
We need Enzo 1st January, that's a massive difference straight away, No6 or No8, ideal No6 against PTB teams too
We are missing the intensity of the pressing from our forwards it must be noted, there's been a considerable drop in it following Mane's departure
Thiago's positioning in the press and counter press also needs work, he and Fab collectively let Modric and Casemiro play through us far too easily to release Valverde to assist for Real to score their winner in the Champions League final with their poor positioning and it was atrocious from both too many times last night also, it's not acceptable, they continually did and do very basic aspects of the press and counter press wrong
