I don’t think Big Meeks is refering to the players being injured. The entire team looks better and looks like they have a plan and are not only sticking to it, they’re doing it!

More compact, composed and look like a team whose playing as a team. It’s normally headless chickens out there with no idea whats going on. Every man for himself.

Even Amrabat is looking good.

That is because ETH has been playing like this for the last 2-3 games in preparation for the cup final.

It's probably that fact that will cost him his job. ie the fact that he waited until 2 games to go to change the way the team played despite all the injuries. Amrabat was poor vs Brighton but he is much more disciplined in positioning and passing then Casemiro. He's actually made a difference in providing a bit of an anchor. The manager chose to stick with a porous midfield despite the pattern being set in the first match of the season.

It's also much easier to justify playing with a solid midfield and hitting counterattacks where possible against City than it would be against a mid table team.
