If Lowton and Pieters are your only option at full back, then you might as well not play them. Why not try Mee Gibson and Tarky
with Brady and Lennon as wing-backs and a three in the middle of Jeff, Cork and Dwight, this might make us more solid down the middle?
Did anyone else notice how often Spurs played long crossfield balls to players on the opposite touchline safe in the knowledge with our narrow tucked in full backs would get nowhere near them before they controlled the ball? Man. City did it a lot with Silva on Tuesday too.

The nonsense of playing narrow is just that nonsense
We have too far to go to cover as with Wilf and Jesuss goals

Nope. But we had choice in the summer to get a new right back.

We`ve needed 2 midfielders for 2 seasons...Cork a passenger.
