That space Rodrygo, eventually, ran into is always there. Big open spaces and we have 3 forwards who can easily make a run but no one is on their toes and the midfield seldom even bother. Add to that, we don't actually have fullbacks who like to run. Keep a close eye on this game and you may be able to count on one hand the amount of times the fullbacks make an overlapping run wide and put a cross in.
As usual we move the ball into the wide areas and cycle it back to the other side but no one moves or makes a run.
There are simple passed he is missing. Honestly always disappointed with the start of matches. I’m always expecting a better start or response to adversity.
Just 1 player scores in this team and it wil lead to nothing in the end Vinicus and Rodrygo no words for these people
It reminds me of AC Milan Ronaldinho. There's something there and he can absolutely take over a game a few times a season but that's it. Very flat performance. These guys have no fire. Mbappe doing what he does. One of the few players that look like bright spots this season. Good pass by Bellingham.
We need the team built around Mbappé. If he's not getting out of the tendency to drop back or wide then we need a full on striker. Too many other key positions not doing their jobs. Courtois, Militao and Tchouameni. Everyone else is severely and significantly lacking in one way or the other.
Which is strange because this is something you can actually work on and get better at in training. The other attackers must not think it's important to practice.
