Ok ... our defence is our weakest link at the moment, no doubt about that. But, let's watch again carefully, where and how some of the goals we conceded in the last few games, a fair number of it came from Stevie's side. With upmost respect to Stevie but he's no DM, and I keep saying this time and again, BR has to wake up from his slumber and acknowledge that, or that he simpy refuses to acknowledge that? Players just waltzed pass him and he simply doesn't have the legs to counter that. Those goals conceded were of the same characteristics, bring the ball to the left wing, make a few short passes, cut-in and go pass Stevie, whoever behind Stevie will not re-act because they will not dare to interfere what Stevie is doing and the ball is goal bound.
It's the same, it's the same, don't believe me let's watch some of the goals we conceded.
It hurts me as much to say this, but is BR too blind not to see that. Please BR, own up and say that's the chink in our armor and make swift changes on that. But sadly you did not buy a DM thinking Stevie, Lucas or Hendo would do a DM job but they're not born DM.
For short term fix, I'd push Stevie into an AM role and put Moreno as a DM defending the left flank with Enrique behind him.
