Fair. I just don’t think Davies was poor with distribution or playing out and getting moves going. I think he gets unfairly blamed because we prefer playing out to his side when Sanchez and Royal are on the right; it makes us predictable. I’m unsure Lenglet on his own solves the problem.It's nothing to do with his performance, so maybe ask before jumping down my throat.
We have been poor with the ball when trying to play out. We have been struggling to break lines and that's exactly what Lenglet does. Romero is usually the player who does this but with him not playing, Sanchez isn't able to do the same. Therefore, we need someone who can do that. Players can be replaced for tactical reasons sometimes rather than just their performance. If you check my previous posts in this thread, you will see how I spoke about breaking lines etc!
Our midfielders are also not the kind who can drive through presses or take the ball on the half turn. I feel Bissouma for Hjojberg would have been a more effective change to address the problem you mention.
