The most dribbled past player in the league. Make of that what you will.
He is fine in the 8, his pressing was really good. The 6 requires alot more athleticism as you have more ground to cover, more runners to track as the last man in midfield, so his numbers wouldn't be good there, but given that is not his position its something he shouldn't be judged on. He did a ok job there, but it's the position that is the stand out weakness in the team. Jurgen acknowledged as much when he said the midfield has to stay close together so as to protect the 6 due to the lack of mobility there. The 6 is the last position in the team that should need protecting, it's his job to protect others. No question Jurgen would have addressed the 6 in the window this summer.
Without any context 41 goals conceded isn't that bad (although almost double the 22 conceded in 2019), but when you consider how much we dominate possession in games that means teams need very few chances to score, and teams score with such few chances as the chances we give up are easy (certainly a lot easier than the chances we get). Even yesterday vs 10 man Wolves, a game we were looking to keep a first clean sheet in 11, they had a glorious chance with a one vs one against Alisson. The midfield as usual were scampering back behind the opposing midfield runners before the chance presented itself. It just isn't anywhere near close to a good enough defence barrier in midfield. It's been dogshit for two seasons. The exits from Europe has seen two of the biggest hidings we have received at Anfield in Europe, Real Madrid 5-2 in 2022-23, and Atalanta 3-0 this season. Bajcetic played in the former, Endo in the latter. To me Bajcetic doesn't look like a 6 at all. Looks more a deep lying passer who needs the defensive athlete next to him.
