I agree that we shouldn't overreact. However, the club has reason to be concerned about what we've seen defensively this preseason and in the early fixtures, considering the losses of Bonucci and Dani Alves--that is why it is so critical that we bring in someone reliable, like Howedes.
If you think Sandro is sitting anytime soon unless Max chooses to sit him or he is injured you are going to be sorely disappointed this season.
No, I am expecting to see many of the goals scored against us due to play coming from the left side. So far, the two goals scored against us this season have come from the left side.
