I know he's been shocking last season but he's not the only one.
There were other mids far worse last season, Jurgen pissing around with the system, Fab played too often as an actual DM on his own, not having a strong coordinated press from the front 3 and the designated playmaker disaster were the real reasons we were shit for too many games
That loss to Bournemouth and Fab continually failing to pick up the ONLY mid making runs into his area, having 3 prior warnings from Billing almost getting in and still letting him waltz into the box to score after that was THE worst piece of play by any supposed DM in the top 2 English divisions last season, Fabinho's and Bajcetic's efforts in the Real game came close to it though
When i meticulously checked the effects of the attempted designated playmaker disaster on all our other players usual numbers they were all WAY down and only drastically improved after the supposed playmaker was no longer able to feature
In the only 2 games we played with a controller (Hendo) alongside Fab, we won 9-0 and 7-0 i think, which pretty comprehensively demonstrated the changes to our successful system rather than the personnel were the main issue
That lazy, tired and lame blaming of the midfield was annoying all last season, like, have you fkn watched us the last 5 years? Can you not see we have a massive drop off in the collective pressing from the frront 3, that our other creators aren't getting the ball and the designated playmaker isn't doing it successfully and it's making our play slow laboured, predictable and us easy as fuck to press and counter with Fab left alone at DM
These things should all have been glaringly obvious to anyone who was paying proper attention the prior 4 seasons
