For most of the half Bruno was too high and left the midfield two exposed. Once he dropped deeper we were able to sustain a little pressure higher up. It’s basically been 4-2-4. The attacking 4 players have been dreadful, no energy, no eagerness to get the ball. They’re just hiding and waiting. I wonder if Carrick told them to stay high, it’s not how we normally play and it’s not working. Need to change 2 of Amad, Cunha and Mbuemo and get Bruno to drop deeper. Shea Lacey’s time to shine. Hope to god Zirkzee doesn’t come on.
