Aside from Di Maria, none of our players today (or the past few months) would take the ball to the opposition. This is what makes it so easy for teams to defend against us. All the opposition will do is just mark the runner off the ball which in turn creates space for our player to drive on the ball to drive forward but since no-one in our side can do that defending against us becomes so easy. Thats what we saw today, the lack of movement on the ball from us allowed Burnley to just sit in front of their goal knowing the ball will be knocked from side to side without anyone making a penetrating run in behind their defence. We make it so easy for the opposition.
