I blame Pep for starting five at the back AT HOME vs Everton. (I will not agree with 3 centre backs away to Bournemouth either for that matter - take the game to them!)
Bernardo looked good.
Raheeeem needs to start on Saturday.
Agree it was the wrong starting formation.
I think ultimately that's what cost us. Their goal was avoidable.
I think we would have been far more fluid with a 433 or even a 4141.
However our defense in general, does currently look an upgrade and with Mendy to come in I'm still optimistic.
Sane is not s wingback however. He doesn't seem to have any defensive instinct at all. He didn't do much going forward either. Himself and Jesus look totally off the pace. Kun has lost a yard of pace and is not getting shots away that he would have in the past.
Silva is so reluctant to shoot, although he was unlucky against the post.
Get Sanchez we need pressure for places on all our attackers.
We don't look up to speed yet but are still creating chances. With Mendy and Gundogan to come in, and Bernardo getting match fit, at least we have options this year to change a game that a ref is robbing us of.
