@ochi294@Ramsgoat3 Zubimendi is not as athletic, but he has better positioning and is extremely intelligent at reading the play and controlling temp. We were far better this season with Zubimendi than last season with Partey.
@ochi294@Ramsgoat3 I'm talking about the first half of the season. Control doesn't mean possession. We were exceeding dominant without the ball. Zubimendi did drop off later is the season due to, what I believe, was him being overplayed.
@markmtgo@Luke_Hughes24 You can't say that we have never won a European trophy and then say football didn't start in the premier league era.
We have won a European trophy. A new name doesn't negate that, right?
@dutch4ever1 We were running the midfield. Japan were relying on attacking down the flanks. So Koeman, in his infinite wisdom, takes out a midfielder for a defender. It was such an obvious error at the time
