4. It is now clear after 2 matches, that we do not have a deep enough squad in 2 key positions and a liability in a 3rd. To mitigate this, bielsa has opted for Firpo as a wing back but that makes me nervous every time the ball goes to that side of the pitch.
Firpo isn’t the LB solution based on what I’ve seen.
