What bothers me most about this lack of trust in the defence is that 2 of those centre backs that he has decided are a worse option than playing a centre mid there have been signed by him. This isn’t just working around a shambolic defence he has inherited, he has upgraded what we had previously only to sit them on the bench while playing someone out of position and watching them struggle. Yes, Shug had a couple of decent games in defence but it should never be considered a long term option because it weakens us in both areas.
