Roberto De Zerbi on Kudus adding something to his attack, but maybe having Fernandes off the pitch lost something from the midfield potentially...

"No, I think no. It's not this the problem. The problem is in the second half we lost balance because we were losing. We forced the pass, we forced the situation. We lost ball and Aston Villa winning, they played more in counter-attack. No, okay, Mateus is different than Kudus, but I have a big confidence in Mateus, but I didn't like the performance of Mateus today. Otherwise I couldn't change. He knows, but it can be normal. It's not an attack of Mateus. I love Mateus, it's not a problem, but I think for Mateus we needed more from Mateus because he can even (more) in that position."
