Execution in the final third has been awful aside from Nelson who has not seen enough of the ball.
Havertz has put himself about but his first touch has been terrible.
Nketiah and Vieira both just drifting through the game. Too many no impact performers. Imo Vieira really isn’t a 8. Zero physical presence and struggles to get involved in games from that position. It’s not just about size. People love to bring up Bernardo or David Silva or Santi but he doesn’t have half of the tenacity as those players do.
Zinchenko’s reputation as being a technical strong on the ball is so overrated. Some of his decision making is just poor. For someone who is hyped up as a pass master by our fans, he loves playing hospital passes. It’s not even the tough hollywood passes that don’t come off that annoy me. It’s the simple 2-10 yard passes that he has no excuse of getting wrong but he does. Both the weight and direction of his passes need to be more accurate. It’s frustrating watching him nonchalantly playing his teammates into trouble with hospital passes and then him being out of position and jogging back while his teammates scramble to defend the counter he caused.
Jorginho and Nelson were probably our best players that half. Jorginho is having to do too much because Vieira might as well not be on the pitch.
