After the summer transfer window the area of the pitch I was most optimistic about was midfield, but unfortunately that's where we've struggled the most. We haven't been able to control games, and despite some good results under Jose, have been a bit reliant on some moments of magic, ie Dele's goal today.
I think Jose needs to realise that we need three men in midfield. He's appeared to prefer Dier and Sissoko, and as the defenders don't trust them, they launch long balls and we tend to lose possession too much.
This should be our formation for most of the games this season. In big games, Aurier OUT, put Foyth at RB, Vert at CB, and Rose at LB.
