He's bad in the middle third for sure. Great to 'ok' in the other two. There are workarounds we've used previously that have done us well, especially when Mata plays, but one of the issues today is that McTominay was the main option to bounce off. Bad choice of words there, but I'll leave it. It was all to easy for the opposition to nullify.
The right side is an issue on the ball in general, it's not merely down to AWB. We're much more fluent on the left. It's all quite unbalanced and easy to exploit and disrupt. Apart from similar fixes to what's already tried, it's difficult to see how to solve it with the players we have. Do we have even one CM that can pass decently that's naturally inclined toward that half? Or a genuine right sided attacker/winger/forward? Not sure we do, and until we do half of the team is fairly dysfunctional, very good on the back foot, poor on the front.
AWB isn't that much a problem. We'd be in an even worse position without him.
