I take back what I said about him not being physically up to the RCM position, he might not be able to do it for 90 mins every game but you can see the upside to it.
Howe knows best
When Tonali played centrally it was a glimpse into why Howe won’t start Bruno anywhere but #6 in this formation, I’ve pointed out before that I don’t think he is physically capable for the further forward role in our current system and I won’t change my mind.
We will perform better here than we did against Palace or West Ham. We are generally fine against teams that want to play football against us, we will see at least a few of those valuable attacking transitions that this team was built for.
Styles make matches, time and time again we struggle against sides that don’t mind us having the ball. It’s a very noticeable trend at this point.
We built a team to press, when we can’t deploy that we look lost. Same old.
