My concern really is that he thought a midfield of Hojberg and Winks with Dele in front would be good enough. I don't consider Jose a stupid man but that's a pretty poor midfield. It's lacking in creativity, it's lacking a player who creates tempo, it's lacking in players who can play quickly into space, it's lacking quality in possession. It's just a very lacking selection.
Was the plan not to concede and hopefully get a goal of our own? That not a terrible plan but it does rely on not conceding which obviously didn't happen and I dont believe that can be a cohesive gameplan going forward because we are always going to concede goals here and there so we need a more constructive plan than keep it tight and hit on the counter.
I know Ndombele is short of fitness but I find it a bit concerning that when we were in trouble and desperate he was then bought on almost as if Jose knows his quality but doesn't trust him to play for longer get in time of desperation will use him. That is concerning for me.
