Guys

Would be great to get your opinion on this?

Jordan Henderson has been great for this team and scored a fantastic goal on Saturday but is he really suited to the holding midfield role? Seems we were very exposed at the back and Hendo is not an adequate replacement for Fabhino.

Maybe things will change when Thiago returns but defensive midfield definitely seems like a problem area at the moment.

We need 2 holding/defensive midfielders and we had only one. This is because our full backs are very often high up the pitch. Neither Ox, nor Curtis can play that role. Hopefully Fabinho is back rather sooner than later

Thanks ER.

So we are basically scoring a lot more goals at the expense of having only one holding midfielder instead of two. This has made our defence much more exposed and vulnerable. Last season it was usually Gini alongside Fabhino. On Saturday all we had was Hendo and it is debatable how good he is in the holding role.
