Yes that´s half the problem. Slow, without purpose, midfield not demanding the ball, not passing it in front of players or taking too long, nobody fizzing it into them or taking any risk.
Against a team like this you can´t play through them without taking any risk.
Marcos Llorente actually named his dog Anfield. It’s a good finish from the Spaniard but the defending is so poor from Milos Kerkez. He has to track his man better.
