I'm referring to how you love saying "I've been telling you guys Sensi is here to start" when people talk about a big midfield signing so doesn't this allude to a narrative of the ownership not spending and wanting us to be happy with a Sensi type player
No? You are making too much assumption, maybe you should just ask if you are confused.
Most here were not understanding what Sensi’s capability is, and what kind of role he will play under Conte. Watching Sensi played at Sassuolo in a completely different role with at least 3 meters deeper is not going to allow people extrapolate his chance creation throughput or attacking movement accurately. Also, SMS would probably only bench Barella, due to the distinct variation in plays Sensi would give vs SMS + Barella.
Most people assumed he was going to be the vice Brozovic, but IMO he would be crucified within the first 30 mins playing there in this club, ala Banega in the regista role under De Boer.
Right now, I don’t believe it’s a personnel problem for our build ups, but a positioning problem of our midfielders and in particularly our wing backs, coupled with weaker foot/side issues of our defenders. I don’t believe the slightest, players like Eriksen, Coutinho would solve our ability to pass the ball from the back.
We probably won’t have too much problem with it until opponents study the way we pass out from the back, only then would we start having issues, because not every team presses that high up at all times.
