I'm not up for watching the further devolution of what was once great, we've already pissed far too much of what was once great away
Fabinho's shit, he was woeful against Fulham and against Palace, he's not a midfielder, he's a RB converted to a DM without the sensibilities of a midfielder, doesn't read the game doesn't understand who is his man threatening his area if our play breaks down and when he can and can't get ahead of a player in such a position and he's fucking useless with the ball
He had half a good season, when he was superb, when Jurgen used him in a high destroyer role and Gini and Millie or Hendo both sat deeper doing the defensive work, once he got rumbled playing that role just past halfway through the season, he was never superb again, in any single game
I love Jurgen, but his planned evolution simply hasn't worked and he's thrown the rest away, even including the Hendo Trent, Mo triangles that played such an integral part on our right last season and was the only beginnings of some new good automation, it would also have provided a very good foil and set up point to feed Nunez better service from
As we played at our very very best under Jurgen 19-20 without Fab, all the team was lacking to considerably evolve how it played then was another 2 midfielders who could play accurate switches and attempted balls over the top and through balls when we were well positioned to win any second ball
They would have enabled the further development of both full backs, which has yet to happen, and greater variety of movement between the full backs and all 3 forwards
Then after that had bedded in and new automation and movement had been established, bringing in a player like Thiago might well have been a good thing
