      Yes, most teams will park the bus but some are better at it than others. HUD missing two defenders were never going to be able to do it in the same way that well know bus man Rafa can.

    It feels completely wrong. The lad can’t shoot, he’s actually scared of shooting. He only does basic passes...

    BUT he’s playing so advanced surely the assists will start to trickle in? I feel I’m going mad, never thought I’d consider him EVER.

        the best way to look at it is he's only bench fodder but guranteed to start so ye will mostly get 2 or 3 points from the bench which is better than 1 or none
