If it's 3 center backs or back to 4-3-3 Hendo or Allen moves into Lucas position. Thought Allen was injured?

I would say that it is causative of Lucas being yellow carded so much. When on a card, he wont be able to be as protective and imposing in the tackle for fear of being carded again. As dave said above, the yellow he got on Sunday was a joke, so it restricts him for the rest of the match. Anyone know if Joe "Epic" Allen is fit again?
I agree with Jimmy. SG and LL do not track the runners, they let them go through. The back line keeps it shape, they do not follow the attacker if he drops deep. This leaves a space inbetween that often results in Lucas attempting a braveheart style effort to stop the attack. Its not the players fault, its the tactics that BR employs.
