We had 70% possession and we had 24 attempts at goal.. but I wasn't happy with what I was watching. We are either too slow in our build up play, or we tried to force a pass that's not there.
The midfield is the problem.. and it's a big problem. Without Thiago we have zero creativity in there. We've known this for 2+ years now but continue to run with it.
Hendo, Milly, Fabinho have the legs and the fitness to make it difficult for the opposition.. but we don't have that player that can feed a killer pass. City have Silva, KDB, Gundogan, and Foden that have the ability to find that pass and that's the biggest difference between us and them.
We can go out and buy Bellingham .. but its just a younger version of Henderson. I don't know who's out there that can do what KDB can do.
I remember that Aouar kid from lyon out playing KDB a few years ago and KDB was very complimentary after the game. He's unhappy at lyon and Forrest have come in with a £17m bid. He's been abit off of the radar recently but at 25 I'm sure there's still a big player in there.
