I do think people just see the size of Souttar and make a lazy assumption that he is just a lump who can’t play. It’s not the case, he’s decent on the ball. Not as good as others as I said.

 

But, if you have Souttar and Nelson as the partnership, I’d be confident that the team could still build from the back while having more defensive solidity.

 

I think Maresca’s choice to neglect defending nearly cost us and we were pretty more defensively all things considered and were bailed out by the likes of Fatawu, KDH, Mavididi and Vardy at the other end.

I'm inclined to agree with you there bud.

 

Playing god awful Enzoball invited,  IMO needless pressure whilst we were pi$$ing around completing the thousand and two passes outside our 18 yd box, "looking for solutions" ( it still makes me chuckle when I think about that BS phrase dribbling out of Enzo's mouth) in the name of controlling the game.   You need a top quality defence if you really want to adopt this style of play.

 

We were lucky most of the time...

Young centre back, 23, had a decent World Cup, over 100 pro games at the step below. Made sense to me. 

 

There's been some stinking signings but this added up to me. Then just totally under-utilised or not utilised in the right way. He'd have been ideal in a newly promoted sign who don't have ambitions about high lines etc. 

Yep. Just another entry on the list of baffling decisions in the last few years.

Indeed.

 

Faes and Vestergaard were found out on a regular basis during the second half of that season.

 

If the manager. whoever he may be, is looking to  rely on either or both of them next season, the coming months could be truly gruesome viewing..🤢

Hopefully he is back soon enough and we can get him with Nelson as a centre back pairing

Just start Souttar up top.

 

I am sadly, only half joking 👀

At least someone might actually get on the end of Fatawu's crosses then!

It won’t happen. Changing both CB’s and having an entire new partnership? And both are pretty slow. New signing who can defend, lead and has some pace about them is needed.

Because the ones he has tried so far have worked so well? Nelson isn't slow either

 

We don't do new signings around here in January

Worked with Walshie up front all those years ago

And didn't Matt Elliott play upfront occasionally as well, with some success?

Bit of a myth this, I don’t think he is. 

Would be nice to see him play to actually find out.
