The issue is in their midfield they don’t have a balance in the type of players
Uribe and Grujic are defensive players. They do the dirty work and lots of the tackling and ball winning.
Otavio is the only one with any creative/playmaking ability but I feel like he’s been hot and cold recently and not as good as he was in the beggining of the season. Perhaps fatigue?
Olivera was really good up until the CL games but he was never a playmaker. His best attributes were his work rate to win back balls and his set pieces/shooting.
I think they need a player that’s a lot more comfortable as a playmaker. Otavio can’t be the only guy on the team who can give a through pass.
I wonder if the winger they purchased from Brazil has playmaking capability? Perhaps him with taremi and Martinez could be a more lethal trio.
It’s also hard to fault uribe or grujic much because they’re the reason Porto have been able to win so many games with garbage left and right backs who can’t mark their man or defend.
I’ve lost count of how many goals uribe has cleared off the line or shots that he’s thrown himself at to stop almost certain goals.
They should keep grujic and get rid of Anderson, the guy is useless. Get another midfielder that’s more like otavio for the squad.
