    Hughes soon changed formation just after half time. We won’t be seeing wing backs again anytime soon.

    Isn't that the role Andy Kiwomya was brought in to fill about 8 weeks ago?

    On the plus side Gillead suits the role of wing back

    The training pitch is a mess. They are having to use the 4g pitch which be heavy on the legs.

    In fairness that is exactly what we're asking Song'o to do, we signed him as a central midfielder.

    It could be worse. Imagine a back three of Songo'o, Threlkeld & Kelleher. As someone posted on twitter, Kellehers brother has scored more penalties than Fiacre has had good games.

    Playing 3 at the back mainly means the manager has no faith in the defence.

    Does that apply to all the PL managers who do it as well ?

    worked for Tuchel in the Champions League Last Year
    And for Conte when he was at Chelsea
    And for England in the Euros

    As someone said earlier, 3 at the back can work. but with the right players

    Thats a bit of a generalisation Fordy, can definitely be a positive tactical ploy with the right personel

    All of those play a different version of 3 at the back, They usually play 3-4-3 which is very different from the 3-5-2 which rapidly becomes 5-3-2 in most cases, They also have the luxury of 3 solid mobile centre backs.
    BTW We would and should have won the Euros, It was playing 3 at the back that cost us it, We played a straight back 4 up to the final but Southgate lost his nerve and went for ( 3 ) which became 5 at the back handing the title to Italy who were a far worse team than England but with a better manager
