First 15 minutes we played some decent stuff, after that not so much. Definitely need at least one of the front 3 off because Richarlison's no good on the wing and none of them are playing particularly well.

Who's getting sent off this half? I'll have to check the rota but I reckon it's probably Porro's turn this time. Wouldn't be surprised if we end up finishing with 8 or 9 tho.
 
Must be up there with our worst signing.
If we played a midfield 3 it would make a lot of sense, as he has the running and workrate to create space, hence Ange wanted him as a more rounded version of Sarr

This season, though, it feels like all of our formations have had a two-man midfield and that's exposed that we lack creative passing from the centre and our solution was...to sign another box-to-box midfielder, who by their very nature aren't creative passers as their role has them create space then lay the ball off to somebody who can create, which at the moment is...Xavi, who is on the bench

Good points. So why can't others see it?
 
This is getting ridiculous now the way your players throw themselves on the floor.
