Get someone like Wharton on next game who actually makes progressive passes and try to unlock Saka/Palmer/Foden with some speed. Watkins Bowen and Eze have come on with fresh legs and had none of the ball at all, their passing is so negative

the setup in general just makes no sense. They keep talking about Foden playing in the wrong position, yet it has nothing to do with the position itself, but everything with style. At City, you have 75+ percent of possession every game ... look at what they do under Southgate, no wonder Foden struggles.
It's just baffling. Having THAT amount of talent in the squad, it's a real achievement to be this bad.
