His passing out is not a patch on Romero, but who’s is? Defensively he has been absolutely brilliant. We spent most of the Brighton game chasing from behind and he mopped up everything, wasn’t beaten once. The goals werent because of Davies and Royal. Their awareness and defending is actually top level. They lack some pace, strength and height and they can’t play out as well as the best. But they are actually doing exceptionally well at CB. as noted it’s our midfield that is lacking a player like Bentancur or Maddison to control the game; and our forwards who are lacking some freshness/rotation.
Couldn’t agree more! Feels to me like everyone’s blaming the lack of natural CBs just because it’s the most obvious thing to point at. For me the goals the other day were primarily the fault of Son, Kulu, Johnson and Lo Celso respectively.
