With nine Gameweeks now behind us, we’re already nearly a quarter of the way through this season’s Premier League campaign.
While surprises have been thrown up across the board – particularly in midfield – the primary concern now facing many managers has to do with their defence.
Big-ticket, fire-and-forget options in the form of Marcos Alonso and Ben Davies have stuttered of late, leaving many of us eyeing exit routes into more reliable sources of points.
This week’s Technical Area will be taking stock of the defensive situation and mapping out paths for success between now and the mid-point of the year.
Given the heavy fixture congestion facing sides over December, reliability of starts – as well as a deep bench – becomes more important than ever. As does wringing the most out of our already strained budgets.
