I never said that I wanted us to play like Barcelona 2011, the point I was trying to make is that we don’t have any midfield when we play 4231. You don’t have to compare us to Barcelona 2011, just compare us to 2017 Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, etc... they all circulate the ball much better than we do when we play 4231. You can easily notice this just by watching, but our passing map confirms it.
I’m using this as an argument to why:
1. We need to switch to 433
2. We need to buy a more mobile midfielder than Khedira in the winter.

Forgive me for not being 100% positive all the time. How dare I give my opinion about how we can improve.
