Our weakness seems to me to be when opposition players get

Into the space between the midfield and the three centre backs. Would not surprise me at all if we play Dier and Henderson against the better teams to try and stop that.

Conversely without Lingard, Ali and Sterling dropping back to pick up the ball and run at people we don’t look nearly as threatening.

The good news is they will all be back next game or at least two of them will.

Still playing reasonably well and some decent performances but watching this it’s clear that in the most part this is our 2nd XI.
