I believe Lallana will make a much bigger impact than people think. Not just offensively but defensively too. He works harder than anyone else we have and is key (alongside Firmino) to the pressing game. Shame we've not got a dedicated DM that would allow Lallana and Coutinho play behind MFS
How do you solve a problem like our midfield? How do you catch Windy and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Salah? A club-footed ****! A headless chicken! A clown! And how do you find a word that means Hendo or Can? A turd on a stick, a ****itty-wit, a blert.
So.... 1. I don't think one man can make a difference. Michael knight and kitt couldnt stop us being over run if we play coutinho and lallana in there too. 2. Chelsea play 343. They can be got at wide cos those wing backs have to sometimes make up numbers in central areas. 3. 4231 is actually 451 when defending and if you look at what utd are really doing this is what is happening. Two big brutes innmatic and felliani and another big brute now injured in pogba. They are crowding midfield as do a lot of teams. 4. By contrast it seems to me we just leave the zone or perhaps one guy might stay there. My view is if we want to stop conceding we need to pull a screen of two in fronting the back 4..... ala spurs with their cms. They are really a screen.
You know we're in trouble when we've discussed what's wrong with our defence, our GK, attack and now the midfield.
There has been some grumbling about the manager too and the less said about Edwards the better. We have the royal flush. Unfortunately they are all jokers.
