There’s something to being flexible like that, but I can’t think of many teams who do it well besides Ancelotti’s Real Madrid, who were “all vibes.” Even that reputation was a bit overstated since they obviously had clear patterns in possession. Brighton do too, but they are pretty hard to pin down

Yeah, expectation of Europe is the major thing. It also hurts that he doesn't have a more recognizable system in possession. The press out of possession has been much better this year, but it's not as noticeable to most fans, especially since it falls apart when the players don't put the effort in

Very poor. Putting the penalty he conceded aside, he didn't really do much defensively and was sloppy in possession again. It felt like every attack died when he got the ball

Yeah, he was a bit frantic in the first half too. Probably was smart to play it safe. Dunk's not a bad replacement either. I thought he played really well

Hopefully we see him start over Baleba soon

Feels a bit harsh to take off Boscagli though, even with the yellow card
