The team captain was missed, insisted on putting him on and the midfield failed

Although Bruno Fernandes has not had the best season statistically, he had been a very insistent player in the team's system of play, he was already established with Christian Eriksen and Casemiro in the team's good run, they were very insistent in wanting to modify for this visit to Villa Park, they had to look for someone who corresponded with the level of the team. They were unable to find a player in their position who would perform.

The decision that Erik ten Hag made was very risky, he decided to field a player who was lost in midfield against Real Sociedad, he could not connect in the game with his teammates, at the end of that game no options were created because the player was out of rhythm, he could not have a good level of play in this game, he failed again in the movements that the team had to look for their offensive players, this Dutch player is one of Erik ten Hag's favourites.
