One or two things troubling me...

Why did we buy Barnes if Murphy starts ahead of him? Barnes is demonstrably the better player but, if our system fits Murphy better, either Barnes was the wrong purchase or the system needs changing, no?

Where has our press gone? We've seen glimpses of it but nothing like it was two years ago.

Is Bruno wasted playing where he is? Maybe 'wasted' is too strong. Perhaps 'less effective' works better? He was further forward in our 'successful' season.

Is a creative midfielder actually a priority? Our struggles against a low block are a real problem.

Is Tonali not fit enough for 90 minutes?

Why do we not look after the ball better> Some of our passing is atrocious and we give the ball away incredibly cheaply at times.

Do we look like a team whose problems would be solved by the introduction of a Crystal Palace CB?

Apologies that this comes over as negative....just a series of musings based on what I've seen so far.
