In my opinion our problem lies in the fact that we have no protection in front of the back four anymore which results in teams breaking on us far too quick and strolling through our midfield like a hot knife through butter. Fine players though Felli, Teta and Jack are none of them can play the defensive midfield role well that I believe we need. So what to do? Well I may get slaughtered for this but if you ask me Moyes should being Neville back into that role which he has performed so well in times gone by and re-instate Hibbo at right back.
When we used to have these two in those positions we were so much tougher to play and score against and were much more solid. Yes I know all you purists out there who think we should be playing like golden era Brazil will disagree as individually Nev and Hibbo aren't the most creative or skillful. But you have to look past this and see what they bring to the team. And what they bring is clean sheets, wins and points.
Now I may be wrong but if you look at the league table that is what we need right now cos we are right in the brown stuff potentially still. And if it means we go back to scraping out one nil wins and sacrificing some of the fancy dan tippy tapping passing we are failing with now so be it
