I am more worried about other parts of the team than the defence.
Yes me too - creativity for example. Not replacing Pereira with that type of player ..... and lack of a quality CF .... our biggest two weaknesses IMO .... Val is doing a decent job on a shoestring .... but we won’t roll teams over every week playing the way we do.
