Xavi Simons

The funny thing is that Frank has talked about his key principles including being brave, taking risks, and playing attacking football.

TF needs time to continue building from defence to attack. Doesn't help that two of our regular starting defenders get injured after the internationals.

because or injuries and late transfers, i believe TF is still learning about the players in midfield and attack.

my guess is that TF will eventually build the team around palhinha, xavi and kudus. muani being fit is the catalyst he needs to shake up the attack.

There's definitely a player there, but he lookes a bit "jet lagged" kinda?

He knows what he should do and do it to some extend, cut left, cut right etc but he lacks a bit explosivness to really take advantage of it, often get caught up by the defender and fall over or pass it backwards.

Hopefully something that he will add on in the time ahead.

Didn't someone say that since his ankle injury he's lost a bit of that?

Could very well be the case. Seen similar with Maddison after the injury. I recall him pre-injury to be much more explosive, like the way he turned Saka in the NLD, but post injury he lost that extra yard

Hard to tell
Be nice if we passed him the ball to see it
