Away from their best centre=backs, they look less composed and definitely less comfortable in possession, their decision not to replace Alvarez last summer was nuts, and they have an ageing midfield with Gundogan coming back seeming very strange too, resulting with a midfield with even less gas and quite often overrun.I had it on my ipad (was watching the Portsmouth game on TV) so wasn't paying that close attention. I've only just realised that he effectively started with 5 centre backs! There have been some strange investment decisions in the last year or so and the squad now looks so imbalanced.
Of course, it would a lot less drastic if Rodri hadn't got injured, but even so, it looks like poor planning to say the least.
