one of the reasons the defence appears to be so solid is because they have a disciplined midfield that constantly screen in front of them and the full backs hardly push forward at all .
Even our luxury wide players are in the team because they defend - Hoskins and Pinnock .
The more creative midfielders - Pollock and flores are sidelined .
Something has to give to be more creative .
For me , it’s pushing the full backs on much more and dumping the 2 wide men that have done very little .
Mcwilliams and Lewis can screen , Pollock or the under performing Flores to drop into the centre behind the front players . Pinnock or hoskins to drift and swap between wings / run from deep.
Rose and Etete up front .
Nothing wrong with that hypothesis.
