Everyone said santi lacked physical presence to play as a regista

Football Intelligence is usually something this sub massively overlooks and can be a better trait for midfield than “pHySiCahlitaaay”

Maybe he won’t work there but he’ll do more than havertz by virtue of just completing several passes to the wing that aren’t backwards

The standard is so fuggin low in that position we’re longing for the days of … granit xhaka?

That’s a serious drop off from every other position in our squad

Our manager must be fuming at havertz he has no choice but to play him into form because not backing him now he will absolutely crumble

Looking at the bench he must be fuming that vieira and ESR haven’t been able to form any significant muscle to protect themselves and they seem far more fragile options than trossard

Let’s not forget we play trossard at nine against massive centerbacks and he does quite well

This sub would make horrible football managers lol

Don’t feel bad at all after those howlers last year

When the pressure was on he failed everyone

We’ll see how raya deals with those big occasions when it’s crunch time this winter but for now ramsdale still paying for his sins
