Not the best ball from Ash to Benty, but good effort.

If 442 is not the way to go with GH, we could have a bit of a problem next season if, as expected, Young does leave as I can not think who could play in his current role.

I think Ash and his current position are part of our problems. Not only are we wasting a great winger in it but it actually for me harms the effectiveness of our midfield as it is more easily overrun without that third actual midfield player. I'd put Bannan in for him.

However, it might also be better if we find a proper second striker who can play that old number ten role better.

Dreadful from Pires, there. We haven't looked much like troubling them, have we?

Beardsley or Sherringham then???

You never know, he bought back Pires.
