I've been patient after we dominated the last two games and was willing to put it down to bad luck. The XG table sort of led me to believe we were getting unlucky and about to click.
But after today with three at the back again, and then bringing on Stephens for Scienza when we were already looking like we were losing grip - what on earth was he thinking in terms of the shape - Stephens looked like he was asking where he was meant to be playing.
I get he had injuries but we have a big squad and need to be able to cope.
Charles is going to be a massive loss. Need to look at Aribo Downes and Jander (or Azaz) in a 433. Although I'd put Aribo number 9 in a 433. Either way need Downes to step up now.
