I watched the highlights, I'd add that both players look incredibly similar seen at distance on a screen, but in 2 of the instances you were lambasting Robbo for playing their players on, it was actually Jota, back in the position we often find Mane in defending when he's on the left
Quite a lot of rewriting of the game on here, most of Brentford's best opportunities were from direct route one football, Toney got joy in the air against both Matip and Virgil and Fab never once picked up their runner from deep when the long ball was played, he stood there watching it as usual
I live with it because he's a Jurgen favourite who he will always pick, but I will reiterate, I haven't changed my opinion on Fab, he isn't a midfielder or a No6 and never will be and as long as he remains a Jurgen favourite, teams will always have a chance and get chances against us, because his lapses leave the other midfielders and defence exposed and always will at some stage in every game he plays
Fabs an out and out destroyer, not a No6 or a true midfielder or even a DM, just a Momo style destroyer, play him with a Gini, Hendo or Bissouma sitting pretty much alongside him with just our LCM or RCM being the attacking midfielder and we can live with it and get away with it, play him as the deepest midfielder, with both LCM and RCM advanced, we're always going to have problems
We need a Gini replacement, Bissouma fits the bill best, now Gini's gone we don't even have the option of Gini Hendo (No6) and Thiago or another for a run of game to get the press back to where it was at it's best and needs to be, it will NEVER get back to where it needs to be with Fab at No6, not badness or an opinion, just plain, simple matter of fact
