And let’s be fair when a team has come to defend and do you on the counter it doesn’t really matter if you do have those kind of players. We struggled to break down defensive teams at times when we had the likes of Henry and Bergkamp and things became slow and metronomic because otherwise you’re running into a wall of players with different colour shirts

It’s like you have selective memory
No, before we get to my selective memory, let's go back to your assertion we don't have players that can do anything beyond the bullshit we saw yesterday. Tip-tap, backwards, slow, plod. Martinelli, Nwaneri, Saka, Trossard, these are all plodders? That's why they play with their backs to goal (apart from Nwaneri but he's new so he'll learn)? That's why they lay off the short backwards pass rather than try to advance the ball up the pitch? They aren't high intensity and they aren't technical enough? So who is? Give me an example of one of these high intensity, technical squads.
