The midfield is affecting certain things but for everyone to be playing so poorly is just a mystery.
Teams do what we do in having the ability to go long and runs in behind when we try and press them, and as we stopped being direct, we've lost our ability in pressing and counter pressing, intensity and positioning, how many times in 20-21 and 21-22 did I lose my shit in the match thread about the complete absence of runs in behind and all our forwards coming short and Thiago overplaying and persistently failing to deliver a single one of his supposed killer balls since we signed him
