This 100%. In the last quarter they were leaving acres of space in behind and we had no outlet to exploit it, apart from Mavididi, who they could double up on and snuff out. We had no runners from midfield, Nacho lacks pace and for some reason Fatuwu was seemingly asked to play very deep - in fact, he seemed to be the one dropping into right back out of possession, rather than Ricardo.
Overall, it just seems that Enzo overthought things, in the way Pep has been guilty of in big games in the past. Why not stick with our tried and trusted back 4 in such a key game, rather than throw in the rusty Coady? Coady was solid enough but we were far less good at playing out than usual with him in the team. I also didn't really get why we had KDH and Ndidi on opposite sides to usual, or why Ricardo was not dropping into RB out of possession. There were so many tweaks to our normal structure and patterns of play, so we lost all our fluidity.
Subbing off our 2 first choice CMs early, presumably to save them for Cardiff, also seemed muddled thinking. Surely we need to see home this result in such a key game - and then rotate v Cardiff? Yunus and Casadei as a combo in CM have been awful every time - they have no physicality and running power at all. Even against a terrible Sheff Wed team, they were very ineffectual.
And to top it all off, we now need to listen to George Elek claiming that Ipswich battered us on the stats, that we're not all that, etc. Really wanted us to make a statement in this game but instead we left ourselves hanging on for 25 minutes or so for a 1-0 win. We're a much better team than that.
