We need the insurance of a very strong defence behind our great attacking play - we were always so vulnerable in this league to being 'done' on the break, and young lads in the first year of their first team career won't cut it as first choice players imo.
Yes we were vulnerable on the break last season. Amazed that we didn't concede more. Before he came to Leeds, Bielsa teams always played 3 at the back. That's how Chelsea played to win their last premiership.
