  • Our Midfield

    Shocked by the line-up this evening if I'm perfectly honest - it might just be enough to get past Sunderland but for me it's every reason why we concede so many goals.

    It might look good on paper with so much attacking talent but I cant help but feel like we've lost the midfield battle in every game we've dropped points this season.

    Has the defence been shaky? Yes. But one thing I would say is they've also been ridiculously exposed by the lack of protection in front.

    Playing Chair with Ball/Stef alone offers no protection. Playing Ball and Johansen as a two is a slight improvement but as soon as one of them pushes on the other is exposed.

    The only time that pairing has ever worked is with Stef and Field - until Field returns I would genuinely consider switching to a midfield 3.

    Ball, Amos, Johansen would offer much more protection for me. Yes we lose creativity but something has to change, we'd still have goals in us.
