Sorry, but if you’re replacing the number one from our best season we’ve had in years, you don’t get to make mistakes

Honestly, i think Mikel isn’t going to be as bothered about mistakes as long as he continues to try to play in the way he’s been instructed to, taking risks to draw the press, passing it out from the back and only going long when there are viable options like Jesus out wide or Havertz up top. Basically the same rational as having one of the fullbacks invert, whether it’s Zinchenko, Partey, Tomi, they all have been instructed to do it and can do it to various degrees of effectiveness but that’s the basic requirement and not necessarily how well they might defend or not make a mistake.
