There are clearly other, far bigger problems than not having a holding six.
Like what if I may ask
The lack of movement in attack. We have four players in attack pretty much standing around in a line of four. It’s completely static. No coming short, no runs and most of all: no quick positional changes. It’s all completely dependent on our wingers using pace or winning a 1v1.
In most matches there is also a gaping hole in the attacking midfield where usually a number 10 would play. Musilia for some reason plays higher up as a secondary striker instead.
There is zero creativity in build up and creating chances and this is not something a holding 6 will fix either.
