More important than whether we’re average or not, is the squad imbalance in individual players strengths and weaknesses.
Too many of our midfield and attacking players lack the necessary physicality and physical aggressiveness to be effective in this PL.
They can’t tackle, get bumped off the ball or robbed easily, lose nearly all the physical tussles, can’t press with any intent or conviction and a few of them appear to be allergic to initiating any physical contact.
The result see’s us regularly putting out a team that’s imbalanced with too many lightweight players.
It makes it easy for opponents to quickly move up the pitch, cutting through our lines with ease and brushing off most of the half assed attempts to stop them.
Rudd putting out two more capable CM’s in the last couple of games has improved matters in the centre, but one of those two is on the decline and needs replacing at the earliest opportunity.
Bruno, Eriksen and all the attackers/ front players are as weak as p*ss.
