We are very predictable when we have the ball

Always looking to get Kenny on the ball as the “quarterback” to dictate the play. Teams know this and just drop deep so we have no space. We are also very narrow when we attack. Inverted wingers that always head in field and 2 fullbacks who are very reluctant to overlap. Again makes us easy to defend against.

Paris has to start at 10 for me over Slimane but no doubt his calf issue will turnout to be more serious than we thought and we will be stuck with Slimane, who is simply not good enough for a team that wants to challenge for promotion.
