Now I look at this and I say, if you play this way with O'Reilly and Mateus Nunez, obviously O'Reilly didn't start last night, but you get my point.

Yeah.

You have even more of a problem.

If on top of that, you have Nico in there, and I was shocked to see this, but the more I watch him, I'm also like, you're younger than Rodri.

You're not coming off a year out.

It feels like Rodri's more mobile.

Maybe this is all in my head.

Maybe Rodri just reads things, so he pops up in the right places more often.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You don't have the players to do this well, and maybe you're more suited... Not maybe, I'll just come out and say it.

You're more suited to playing a different type of game, in my view.

People are instantly going to ask, like, well, whose place is he going to take in the side?

Obviously, there's going to be some level of rotation.

I would assume that you might want to play Semenyo and Doku.

Yeah, definitely.

Obviously, Semenyo can play different roles.

that this would kind of maybe be your base, and then you could get away with Schurke, Reinders, and Rodri, but then there's no Bernardo Silva, which... Yeah, but Bernardo Silva can play for Reinders.

He can, of course he can, but it's a different thing, right?

With Bernardo Silva, you've got more defensive solidity, and then there's Foden in the mix as well.
