A lot of alarmism in here. We’re losing because of a Trent error and a dodgy red card in a difficult away fixture at top 4 rivals. Our pressing has mostly been good and our midfield does look far more mobile. The bigger issue has been the number of second balls we’re losing and - again, like the Bournemouth game - some lackadaisical play in possession.
We can say what we like about personnel and structure etc. but a lot of that just has to do with concentration and a lack of fluidity, which is unsurprising when you start with an entirely new midfield. I’m not losing hope just yet, although this definitely looks like one where at best we nick a point and bolt.
