Our midfield has been bang average for a good while but the forward line is starting to concern me now, hard to believe it's the same 3 players who were the scourge of defences all over europe last year. It's December the first on Saturday, we are nearly halfway through the season and they still haven't clicked into gear.
Our midfield with those 3 in it are smack bang average but the difference last season was that they seemed to be on a mission to prove they didn't need Coutinho. They pressed high and were supporting every attack which is the complete opposite this year. Look at the space between them now and if you watch our attacks its often just the front 3 pushing on while they don't even cross the halfway line. What worked so well for us and our front 3 was pressing in numbers which gave teams no time to breathe whereas without that our attack breaks down and they can walk the ball out.
Being honest I think this is our gear for the season unless we start having a bit of faith in the new lads and give them a proper go. To not even see a single one of them as a regular starter this far in is a mystery especially since they have shown they can play. You could understand if Milner, Hendo and Gini were playing out of their skins but they are far from that engine we had driving us last year and if we are stuck in gear that's why.
Coutinho is still a massive loss to that team as long as we don't properly replace him and I also think losing Buvac has had a big effect behind it all as well.
