Fucking hell, not at all used to us playing such attacking line ups. The thought of having a dodgy back 4 and those 5 ahead of them fills me with anxiety but maybe it shouldn't.
Think he’d be great too. We need more high energy players who can press and want to play forward. I don’t think he’d be coming here purely as a mercenary either as there’s a good chance he makes the WC squad if he does as well as he did at West Ham.
Hayden didn't do himself any favours with his appearance in the last game. Genuinely awful cameo. 5 passes attempted with a 0% completion, no interceptions, no tackles, 1 foul
Not so sure about that.
Vs Brentford. Bear in mind that we switched to a flat back four at some point in the second half so the wing back average position is affected. Murphy and Ritchie’s position was in advance of the two midfielders. It was definitely not a 5 imo.
It’s the only formation we can play that allows ASM to sack off defending.
