Yeah I do agree with that.It has been ever since we lost Dembele.
We give it away so cheaply at times it's unreal. Main culprit = Hojbjerg.
The amount of goals we give away from fucking around in the middle third is unprecedent. A loose sideways or backwards pass, either followed by a desperate foul in a dangerous area for a set piece, or clear run in on goal.
Watch em back, rarely do we have a good goal scored against us, it's normally us.
A lot of loose touches or loose passes.
But the beautiful thing is the more we practice and the more players we have with ability to play this way effectively, the more we will get better at it and give the ball away less.
Ange's style is very demanding. Thats why I think it was working much better earlier.
Since then we have had players out and not the most effective players at doing it.
Also, after 60 mins or so, we need subs to come on and keep it up.
We havent really had that.
This period has felt like we are just dragging through it and I genuinely believe we will be better from it.
Ange and the players will have learnt a fuck ton.
