Would like to see him more in oppo final third making a threat to go on the outside of their fullback. Feels like we don`t have many designed moves involving him playing 1-2s in the final third and then making runs for someone like Coutinho to find him.
We can see Coutinho struggling to find people as there`s no movement in front of him but if you watch best teams playing against the parked bus you can see a lot of those diagonal passes from the creative players towards their fullbacks. It`s an area we should improve upon significantly as it`s a great tool against the low block and with Moreno and Coutinho we have the tools for it.
I watched City again today and their 2 fullbacks love this. I've seen Moreno and Manquillo attempt to do this, so there is that hope that they are well aware of that, I just think things have been just a bit too nervy to attempt such brazen, confident moves.
If it goes tits-up, there would be enough space for a counter. Lets see what happens when we're on song, fully fit and confidence is soaring again.
