I think this insistence on re-setting the entire team every time we get possession, by playing it back to Cooper/Rodon/Meslier cripples one of our key strengths - our attacking speed. I would definitely have Gray in the middle, and I hope Farke is beginning to see that this ultra- cautious defensive set up is costing us points? There’s zero point in having 80% possession if 90% of that is within 30 yards of our goal!
