You're right we have to play a back five because we don't have two full backs. Semedo also plays in a back four for Portugal in but is unconvincing... RAN is great going forward but defending set pieces...

I read somewhere that Matt Hobbs said we didn't sign a replacement for Kilman as we were going to play a back four this year, that we had enough centre backs. Baffling given that Bueno and Mosquera are unproven in the Prem, and Dawson is aging and struggling to stay fit. Also, why did we send our only natural left back on loan to Feyenoord?

I said these decisions would cost GON his job at the start of the season, if we lose tonight and he still has a job I'm seriously going to lose faith in our owners.
