Jose had all his midfield options available to him, if he can't do something better against players that he knows inside out then we have no hope. Yes Fred and Mctominay have had good seasons but neither are world beaters. We should be doing more to regain control of the match.
Im not so sure if he had all of his midfield options. Lo Celso, unarguably our best midfielder this season did not look sharp enough to play a full game. Gedson looked good, quite exciting but still raw. I still have hopes for Ndombele but much like Dembele in early Poch Spurs we'll need to be patient.
This football isn't ideal but it gets the most out of the personnel available to us. If we had of attacked them then we would have had no possession and concede more goals vs no possession and hard to beat. Also attacking football requires top fullbacks. Our defence would be a shambles in any other system but this one plays to the strengths of Davies and Aurier.
