Do we miss a leader?

[Nufcian]

Just put a long winded post on Facebook on someone saying we should sell to City?

We so poor at breaking down a low block (which is why we look better against the likes of Liverpool) that selling a player with the vision of Bruno is nuts? because most teams we face will be setting up that way.

I?d agree that he?s not been at his usual levels this season, but I worry that is the captains armband making him think he needs to do everything and be everywhere? and in his case I think it?s a case of ?less is more? or we need a different captain.

Working out how to play Tonali as a regular starter to take some of the work off his plate (imo) will help a lot too. It will also help us get the ball up the pitch quicker than Longstaff?s backwards and sideways passing? because at the minute we are so slow getting up the pitch that teams are organised by the time we get the ball in the final third.

Defensive issues need to be sorted too, we got into the CL on a solid defense? we?ve been poor without Botman for a long time now? as much as we all love BDB his pace is too slow for someone who wants to spend so much time up the pitch. Also he?s getting caught watching the ball to much then not being quick enough to recover.

I don?t think there only 1 thing wrong at the moment, defense needs sorting, RW needed sorting, Bruno needs to do less to achieve more, and if I?m honest there?s nothing other than him trying to do everything that makes him stand out as a captain? so honestly I?d be looking for someone else to take over the armband and just let Bruno concentrate on his game and what he should be doing? his effort is never lacking, just he?s being spread too thin all over the pitch.

That?s my (long winded &#128521 take on it anyway.

I agree with all of that Ian,question is who would take over the captaincy? He?s got to be a first choice player, the only candidate imo would be Botman, can?t come up with any body else as captain material.
