Seem to be playing better as a team without him. Would suggest when he returns Pep tries to ease off on making him our 'sole' focal point of attack. Too easy to mark him out of the game and it makes our game very pedestrian. Walking the ball thru endless passing up the pitch to eventually try to penetrate a packed defence, doesn't suit him and makes us boring as fuck
Need to go back to the way we were playing during the treble season where we got the ball to him quickly and launched balls into the box.
We just clicked that season - Grealish , Walker , Foden , Gundogen , Alvarez piled on with 17 goals in 21 starts Mahrez and Bernardo had their best season .
Just about everyone clicked -
As for Haaland being out , I said we’d play better without him as we seemed to have lost our way on how to get the ball to
him over the months , so had we had no choice but to play differently - we have seen glimpses of yesteryears style recently instead of the tippy tappy rubbish that we are normally made to watch.
