It’s the centre midfield

More or less all of those issues get resolved if we sort the central midfield out.

I think with a fully match fit Nunez, McLean and marcondes we’ve got what we need in the squad to do that.

So many things didn’t work out last night, which is almost a good thing, as it really shouldn’t be hard to be better.
