Don't think the underlying issue is hwo high our defensive line is. It's

whether we play a natural passer of the ball in midfield, to try and keep hold of the ball and actually create something. We're obviously not going to tonight. Gallagher has strengths but he's not a natural passer of the ball. So the only question is whether we play badly enough today that he actually tries something more creative in midfield in the knock-out games.

[Spoiler alert: he won't try it in the knock-out games.]
