Every team in the division will be licking their lips seeing that second half. They will be pressing our keeper and defence with six men, with nothing to lose - because we have no pace further up front to punish them if we did manage to get a counter attack going. If you split the centre backs and push the full backs on, you need to protect the middle of the defence. Two, not one, defensive-minded midfielders to look after things. Freeman and Eze are attacking players, Luongho is not sure where he should be, and playing on autopilot. Oh yes, and one of our best and most imaginative passers has just been shipped out on loan. To make sure that Cousins gets a game. This has really not been thought through. | |
