This central progression is underused. With four players in central positions, it needs to be used for progression. (Look at Chelsea) With the DMs shadow marked. The link pass through the AMs needs to be automatic patterns of play.

Lots of work needed on training ground to time movements, relationships and understanding.

Time on the training group will aid movement and understanding of when to unlock that central progression

Hudson Odoi should be screening that pass into the RAM - Bruno

Ruben's system is too centered on progression through the wing (back). Central progression would massively aid in making Manchester better over all

The wide CBs might just be too wide. Dunno

Yep and yet the passes are still there from the central centre back.

Main problem is de ligt he can't start 's mid/low blocks not progressive enough wcbs as well weren't apart from the occasional ball over the top to the wingbacks. Yoro was avi on the ball. Back three has to be Licha Mags Maz against low/mid blocks

Need to stop playing garnacho in the middle not physical enough to play there wing-back is his best utilisation.

Noticed that yesterday when I watched the game - the double movements of Bruno gave him the space to play first time too and find the forward facing player. ‘Up and back’ is an effective way of playing through defensive lines 👏🏼
