There’s not any attacking desire from them which is the problem. I thought in Jones we’d have a midfielder who’d actually carry the ball, but today he just seemed to play within himself. Gini made a burst forward and just before breaking into the box he passed it backwards to Jones who promptly lost it, probably surprised that Gini seemed to throw his opportunity away like that. Near the start, Milner had a sight on goal, but tried to play through Mane who was in a worse position, and then lost it.
There’s just no one taking responsibility in that midfield. It makes us really easy to defend against when all the threat is coming from two areas.
