I'm not at all worried about this game or the rest of the season, if we make sure our press and counter press and team defending is a good as it can be and work hard to improve it further we're an incredibly difficult side for even the very best teams to create against and get opportunities to have a go at our CBs
We'll be absolutely fine, as relentless a winning machine as ever as long as Jurgen has learnt the lessons about the Gini Fabinho plus one other that isn't Hendo of Thiago midfield that got found out in the 2018-2019 season
On Fabinho, i really didn't see where he'd get games at CM, i've only seen it once and it needs some fine tuning, but the midfield v the bitters looked very good, the creativity drive and pressing and counter pressing of Hendo and Thiago makes Fab in the centre work for numerous reasons, the extra creativity and more frequent switches makes it a lot harder for teams to teams to set up or get set to try and target Fab or work transitions off him, i'd still never play him at CM without both those players with him
