There are LOTS of issues in this team, but one thing I see is that Saka don’t cut inside & shoot like at Arsenal. 0 shots 0 on target first game & 3 shots yesterday 0 on target. Play him LW & let him cross effectively & get his assists, put Foden on the Right & Palmer in the 10.
Kendrick can't be the greatest because his subject matter and presentation contains too much interiority, such that unearthing this interiority becomes the favourite pastime of people who would like to look intelligent.
