I think that is our problem, Holtby is adding so much playing deep from a passing standpoint but Dembele is such a strong dribbler. Then on top of that you have Sandro and Paulinho, 4 very different types of players that all deserve to start. A Dembele + Sandro + Holtby midfield 3 would be fantastic IMO
I think Paulinho is vital, Dembele-Sandro-Holtby has nobody who is comfortable getting into the penalty area to challenge for crosses.
yea i agree, lennon does better on the right than both of them. lamela hasn't done much on the right tho, seems like townsend + lennon for now is our best wing option wouldn't mind seeing lamela play in the hole where sigurdsson is now
Hmm just Ahnzi so I won’t read too much in to it, but there are signs the much hoped for “gelling” is starting to happen. Not sure I could be any more tentative if I tried.
