I'd rather we prioritise key positions so i view the need for a CB as paramount. The rest can follow but that should be the key towards our progression. The younger lads need an experienced bod to lead the line & keep them in check, it would make a world of difference.Steve, there's a whole lot more wrong than signing a CB will solve.
As bad as some of our defending was, why is that Newcastle were able to attack us with gay abandon? They had 22 shots. This was Newcastle FFS. They shouldn't have been given a sniff of our goal.
We should have been dominating the game and playing largely in their half. We had 11 shots.
You say we have a pool of talent that others can only dream of. And I totally agree. But why are we only seeing glimpses of it? With the quality we had on the pitch yesterday Newcastle should have been chasing shadows.
Jose and this squad are not the right fit for each other.
The signing would also allow the likes of Ndombele to play a more advanced role which would also allow Harry to play around the box. As good as he is dropping deep i'd prefer him in & around the opp's box more often.
Another attacking mid would be helpful, i'm not averse to a more attacking shape if we have the personnel in place to do it.
