It's not just Hanley. All the back four have given

opposition forwards too much space, giving them time to turn. Have also allowed forwards to get crosses in.
The pace and physicality of premier league forwards is greater so we need to step up a gear also.
I am sure they will learn, but will need to learn quickly.
Also Chelsea's physicality overpowered Trybull and Leitner so that is an area in which we may well struggle. Hopefully Amadou will give us a bit more beef.
