Our defence functioned adequately when Weitering was moved forward and I think that shows that Bolton's multiple role approach is working. However, it does suggest that Bolton should have changed the matchups a little sooner. As you say EB, Bolton should be looking after Weitering while he is developing. That said, it is probably important that Bolton gives Weitering a reasonable time to get on top of his opponent.
Our defensive pressure was simply way short of the required level. Our mids, when they have a bad one, have a REALLY bad one....
Need to pick up 2 or 3 more quality mids.....maybe a mature ager even.
And quick is nice but being able to get your hands on the pill is better!
Finals, then 4 in a row!
