It's painful to watch how few options they make for the man on the ball.
Whenever you watch our centre backs, full backs, or wide men with the ball, they are just closed down. There's hardly ever a sensible option for them into the centre midfielders. It's why we never play any decent football at the moment.
If occasionally it does end up with them, they never turn into space and most of the time bounce it to the next player with the least space, putting them under pressure. Or make the easiest pass for themselves, which more often than not is the worst for the team, but puts the responsibility on someone else.
This, however is the type of team all of those people who think Dembele is the answer to all our prayers would leave us with. I always would, and always will, have Huddlestone over him.
Bentaleb can play a bit.
