I said it in the summer that our fullbacks are an issue.

No pace, not direct and can't cross from the byline. Need new ones in the summer. Reece James needs an opportunity next season, apparently he's been immense for Wigan, so good that they're trying to shoehorn him into other positions as well.

Alonso outright needs replacing. Too slow and easy to dribble past, ponderous on the ball and takes too many touches.

Be patient and wait to see how we are playing in a couple of months time as Sarri has on numerous times mentioned the defensive side of his ideas will take time to adapt too.

City and Liverpool have given there manager times to implement there styles which is why they look so cohesive.

Well ive been patient and thing have not improved, if anything they've got worse. Alonso just about got away with being a wing back but his defensive frailties are there for everyone to see as a full back, he's positionally Naïve and keeps costing us goals, he's got to go. Dave is a great defender but is having an inconsistent season which we are just not used to. He's normally Mr Reliable but has been found wanting several times this season and just doesn't look comfortable in the system. So do we Buy or do we give an opportunity to some of the younger promising players Like Ania and James?
