Midfield

You win and lose games based on the control you have in midfield.
When we were promoted in 2018/19, we had Tettey and Trybull patrolling in front of the back four (and Trybull could also pick a pass), and then we had creators and links to Pukki in Vrancic, Stieperman and Leitner.
We dominated teams because we controlled midfield and could create while providing protection for the back four.
Where are any of those parts of the game do we have in the team?
The back four are left exposed and we do not create chances for Pukki or whoever plays upfront.
We had 6(?) efforts on target last night but how many were from inside the penalty area?
For all our possession in the second half how many chances did we create and how many saves did the keeper make other than the goal?
