Like many, the most positive thing in the last three games has been the performance and spirit of the back four. Not having to put up with the clamamity performances of Maguire, the never above average performances of Lindelof which people seemed to weirdly be positive about on here or the which Shaw turns up is a blessing. We would have lost every game this season with our old back four.
Varane is virtually a new signing, Malacia is showing promise and Martinez is one of a few really top center backs to come into the premiershpi tis season that isnt a big name. Love his spirit, reading of the game and on the ball so far.
But, the balance still simply isnt there, feel the importance of Antpny living up to the fee and hitting the ground to a degree running and fittin gin is vital. Nobody has performed on the right. Amad has never looked ready, Pellestri hasnt had an opportunity, SAncho has never looked right there, Elanga is merely a team player and a godo young pro....every player has looked better on the left.
Im still concerned with ashdord up front, Martial up front and Ronaldo fading a fair amount this season....however, create chances and Ronaldo still gets goals, that is what I hope ANtony adds to our attack, chances.
Sad to say as we may never have signed ANtony if it wasnt for the Greenwood situation but ability wise Sancho, Greenwood and Antony would have been something.
I still am not convinced by our midfield though, McTominay has been doing quite well but he isnt the answer, Fred even further forward isnt the answer and Eriksen seems to really fade in the second halves of games to me.
We definately need to improve our creation of chances going forward beyond on the break with pace
