The team suffers mainly with a few problems. Sadly for us, they are quite big problems.
1. A midfield that includes Lucas and Henderson is not yet top 4 material. Its a bit short, compared to the others, and i feel that sometimes Lucas goes missing defensively. Why we didn't attempt to go for Erikson with the money we paid for Ilori i don't know.
2. Johnson is a miss at right back, but even worse is that our right hand side is poor, and has been for years. Aspas hasn't settled either. Not creating the overloading on the right as we should.
3. We seem to have no one to hold it, and with pace, who can turn defence into attack. I think Suarez can do this, so it may not be such an issue, but it seems we get hemmed in a lot. With more of a threat up front, this one can be resolved quite easily, as well as Lucas, Henderson doing more.
4. Coutinho is a big miss even with his poor start. Most of our creativity came from him, and it's noticeable when he isn't playing. Thus we need players like Aspas to step it up.
