Exactly. Bruno, Eriksen, Mainoo, Mount, Casemiro, Garnacho, Varane, Maguire, Hojlund, Onana are all incapable of passing the ball, it's not like they have 85% plus passing success with short range passes and 80% plus on medium range passes. Oh wait.. they do. Well they certainly can't be expected to keep the ball against Crystal Palace who is clearly a superior passing side? Oh, they are worse? Well we don't have any players who are good at the final ball in the final third do we? Except for Bruno who is the best in Europe at it, and our forward line is generally good at it with ground passes. But our defence is shit surely? But no, our shot to goal ratio and defensive stats are actually very good.
Statistically our strenghts are; passing short, moving the ball sideways and slowly through the lines, Bruno finding the final ball and defensive ability of individual players one on one.
Our weaknesses are; inability to make correct decisions quickly, poor athleticism, vulnerable on the counter, poor ability to move the ball quickly through the lines, poor pace in defense.
Somehow the conclusion to that is to play long ball and a frantically paced transition game?
