He's being played in a midfield pair with Torreira as the defensive shield, problem is neither he or Lucas have the skill set or experience to handle the job, add to that a front four who provide about as much cover as a fig leaf and no surprise they are struggling ...
Both Lucas and Matteo give it 100%, the problem is when you are constantly under pressure every mistake is amplified ... frankly they must dread the thought of facing off against an extra man every week, knowing they will be once again be left exposed by teammates who don't give a shit ...
When Chelsea had just Mount and Willian behind Abraham for 35 minutes they looked great, as soon as Jorginho gave Chelsea the extra attacking midfield player they were always under pressure ... it took another 45 minutes for us to adjust (Ozil off for Willock) by then they were already fecked ... and it's the same tactics every week
If we line up 4-2-3-1 against Utd expect more of exactly the same thing - even a rookie manager can spot our weakness ... and it's not down to the two youngsters giving it their all, it's down to a piss poor squad, and years of piss poor management ...
Best header we have? Xhaka, best long passer Xhaka, most experienced central midfield Xhaka and yet he couldn't cope in this team - so without some help what chance does a 20 year old have?
