Also, the idea of losing intensity with one of the most effective strikers on the planet leading the line is a questionable concept...

Either we keep (mostly) winning or we have to set the bar a little higher for what we expect from our center mids in their ability to transition the play. I kind of like losses like this in the sense that it exposes the flaws that were already evident. Ideally, it will lead to Tuchel adapting and we'll see this team continue to evolve. If we managed to win playing with 10 defenders, we'd be doomed to watching more of it.

Agreed. I feel like Jorginho in particular is benefitting from a large amount of outcome bias/halo effect.

I missed this game, my ma fell over and broke her arm! Looks like a good game to miss, I've heard we were bloody awful. Actually apart from Palace, Arsenal and the second half against Spurs we've actually been pretty 'ordinary' particularly of late, some of these boys needs a rocket up their a*se. First real test for TT I think?

Thanks Naughtius, she's doing OK, now she has an arm half made of Meccano and will set off every metal detector at the airports but she's out of the hospital. :-D
