12 goals conceded in 6 of the last 7 games where 4 at the back has been used
2 goals per game on average. One of those games included a clean sheet vs Forest, who wasted numerous chances from counter attacks.
We drew 1-1 in the other game that's not included in the 7 games, where we played most of the game with 3 centre backs.
The start of the season also saw a few hammerings playing 4 at the back vs Sunderland, Villa and Millwall. 7 goals conceded in those 3 games.
The only spell of the season where 4 at the back worked was during September/October where Norwich sat deeper, gave up possession and had Tettey/Trybull screening the defence in beast mode. Unless those two are starting and the team is playing deep without dominating possession, then 3 at the back has to be used.
Our group of forwards/strikers are mediocre at best, but there are always solutions to defensive frailties. Farke can fix this and he must do it now.
