It’s a case of sell 2 and buy 1.
Is it though? Jose has clearly set up so we have 2 forwards who are our primary goal getters and he's asking the 3rd winger to work extremely hard for the team. I thought Moura the back end of last season had his most consistent period for the club and was very strong even though he didn't score many. Bergwijn as I've said above could have done better with some chances in recent games but in terms of his impact over the course of 90 minutes I much prefer the effort he's putting in the last 4 games compared to when he first joined and he scored the odd goal and was invisible for 90 minutes.
Obviously I'd love our 3rd winger to contribute more and also put the defensive shift but I think some of you expect way too much. Jose has typically always gone for a team where the 3rd winger is more about defensive work.
Frankly I think some of you focus too much on goals and assist (not directed at who I quoted) I see people lamenting Lo Celso and Ndombele for lack of goal and assist contributions, but don't take into account their actual role within Jose system. A system which has us firing on all cylinders atm and is working.
