There's not two defensive midfielders though
3 last week, 2 this week. Count.
Who are the two defensive midfielders? Unless Anita isn't playing on the wing as per the team sheet then there's only Hayden.
And Anita. He's a DM, not a winger. He's about as much a winger as Colback's a striker.
I agree that Anita shouldn't be playing and get your point that he'll offer nothing, but we're not setup playing a formation with 2 defensive midfielders. This was my point given that people are saying the formation is setup negative. It's not, we just have a s*** player on the wing that we don't want there (because Ritchie had a knock).
We have a player on the wing that can't do anything going forward, that's the point
Guess Janmaat is supposed to have the freedom to attack with Anita covering up.
Why not just play Anita right back then? Anita as a right winger is pretty bad in terms of team selection.
And play Janmaat at RW you mean? Could work I guess.
