Apparently all that Arne Slot was needing to play like this was the absence of Mo Salah and Alex Isak.

@vruz the team has a good balance - at least it does today - down to the missing players or just the team begining to get to know one another better?
@30yrdscreamer I think all three ideas are different aspects of one and the same set of facts.
@vruz the commentators kept suggesting Wirtz has played better without Salah and I kept screaming that correlation is not causation!
@vruz that could be so. I’m grappling with trying to decide what I think of player execution failures versus tactical failures vs personnel failures. I’m dissatisfied with every opinion I have because none are clearly correct. It’s a blend of everything and I don’t think Slot should bear all the burden.
For example, the failure to sign Guehi in the summer seems to be the most damaging to our fates.
