I dont know whats going to happen with Bellingham, but the midfield needs to be sorted out, and frankly, so do the tactics.

VVD looks like he's lost a step since that knee injury and even without that, he's getting older.

He cannot bail out that high-line all the time anymore, so that line has to come back a little because with the midfield losing the pressure battle you get forwards coming at you with speed and that ball over the top.

And then what should be calm, routine defending is either last-ditch or a complete calamity.
