A lot of people are being very emotional yes but I can’t remember one game this season where Zinchenko did the things he was doing last season. I feel it’s by instruction but idk

Yep. I don’t get what we’re doing

Yes and no. We’ve spent a lot of money, and when you’re not a state run club, you need to be very good with your recruitment. Mistakes are very difficult and take long to fix.

Secondly, my issue isn’t that our players have flaws. It’s that to me there seems to be a lack of chemistry. Is Martinelli really the best way to complement a frontline of Jesus and saka? Is Jesus really the best way to complement a frontline of Martinelli and Saka? Is Havertz the best way to complement a midfield of rice and Odegaard? Having suboptimal chemistry was forgivable last year because we were still somewhat in the beginning stages of the project. We’ve spent enough now, the players should be clicking with each other.

Felix looking like a proper player. His final third decision making is ridiculous lol.

Anyways, I’m really bothered by how our starting XI looks.

We can’t run an alpha striker because neither our midfield nor our wingers create enough and have poor final third decision making. We can’t run a support striker like firmino because our wingers aren’t inevitable like mane and Salah were. So we end up running this halfway striker but he cannot score and would definitely be better on the wing.

Odegaard doesn’t have a final ball, but we can’t play vieira because we need Odegaard to lead our press.

Rice can’t manipulate a block from inside in the middle, but partey is washed physically, and jorginho cant cover big spaces.

I have no idea what Zinchenko is doing this season. Defensively ok, but he’s supposed to be the one manipulating blocks.

I dislike Twitter tacticos and try to fact check everything they say, but they seem to be right about havertz looking better as the RCM.

Barcelona are really, really weak to transitions. They’re lucky ter stegen is back to being good.

God I wish we had a good keeper

Zinchenko was always bought as a stopgap. We wanted Lisandro for that position
