Theres no denying, Lewa was crucial to last year's league win and may well be again.
He's a lot weaker when the game state isn't in his team's favour but when it is he's an amazing player.
Pros and cons.
His 'Pre WC' stint was when Dembele was uninjured. No coincidence.
I watched him with Poland during this time and during the recent games and its obvious he is very weak without creative players around him, with them, he is a goalscoring machine.
Think we are starting to get an aura in the league or already have it really.
Amount of times we have won games over the past couple seasons where looked completely out of it and then go on to win with quickfire late goals is crazy.
Its becoming impossible to beat us in the league somehow.
It seems like every tactic we do is just trying to do a bargain copy of Pep.
Fullbacks inverting even if it doesn't suit them, center backs playing full back, the 'positional play' where midfielders end up standing around like cones etc.
Everyone has been shite except 30 mins of Frenkie before he came off so dont think much is taken from this game as regards with the players.
Set up was terrible and tactically got the run around from Celta today.
No it really isnt anything to do with them as no players are expected to win 3v5 attacking situations.
The problem is nobody enters the box except the forwards and midfielders have no involvement in attacking sequences.
Midfielders and even CBs should be getting up there to achieve numerical...
Because they are running 5atb system... wingers are getting doubled and they press with force any time they receive the ball.
As per usual we're struggling because we cant enter through the middle with our midfielders.
Fermin even though he isn't an exact match, he adds a lot more.
Roberto is probably better than him. Roberto scores a fair amount of goals and assists a lot from midfield.
Its the same 5-3-2 scheme that Frankfurt got us with.
Double the wingers, intense pressing around the box, win ball back, play balls through the channels to the 2 strikers.
Same shit and still works 2 years later.
