Lots of possession but very little cutting edge. Then concede a soft goal from the opposition’s first attempt. Then huff and puff to try and get a goal back but look like a bunch of strangers. The individual talent is there. The cohesion and connections are not.
It's almost like they have had a lot of turnover in their squad, and despite signing good players for a lot of cash it does take time for them to build relationships, patterns of play, understanding on the pitch etc.
I wonder if after every draw and loss how many of their fans are sarcastically asking questions about "so how long does it take to click" etc.
In all seriousness they and we should still be playing and doing a bit better but it is just part of building a newish team. The challenge is how quickly it can be turned around and if in time.
