One thing I’ve not seen anyone mention is our height in midfield. Without Fabs and Hendo in there we have no height. This allows flick ons from the midfield which puts the back 4 under pressure.
It was evident against Burnley with Thiago losing lots of aerial duels and ultimately not even challenging for the header back into the box which led to the pen.
Again yesterday when the ball is in the air in midfield we lose it more often than not.

OP, we know that Hendo and Fab not being in midfield is hurting us in several diff. ways. Nothing new to see here.

Yes agree, I mentioned exactly the same thing in another post mate - Thiago at the base of midfield has seen the opposition escape and counterattack far more frequently than when Fabinho was there to mop up. Thiago would be much effective in a 4-2-3-1 IMO, with a tall physical player alongside him.

Thiago wouldn’t get in my team atm. He’d of got the tunnel of death from our team ( when we was kids) for that duck.

Thiago is obviously an excellent footballer but I’m not sure we need that sitting in front of the defence. We need a tackler who can see a pass, have a dig from distance and win balls in the air. In short, Fabinho.

If we could get Thiago dropping his shoulder and breezing past people 25 yards further up the pitch with an insurance policy behind him we’d be in business. He could draw defenders out of the low block and create space for others. He also has the ability to pick out that space.
He’s a hindrance rather than a help in the role he’s playing now.

Let’s not forget the Villa, Brighton, Fulham, WBA and most of the Newcastle game came whilst Thiago was out. Yes he’s made a couple of mistakes (the duck inexcusable) but it’s not like the rest of the team are flying and he’s dragging us down. If anything at times he seems to be the one trying the hardest. Maybe at times too hard.
