I like Slimane, but he needs others closer to him. The midfield trio yesterday...

was totally unsuitable. Neither Field or McLean had the legs to get up to support him, and as a 3 there was not enough legs to pick up second balls or win the ball back. And when they did get the ball they promptly lost it because there was not enough technical ability either. I never want to see that 3 in the middle again.
