I'm not saying it's worse, I'm even acknowledging that it could be better, it isn't fantastically better so far, however. I think Paterson, Coady and Holgate look very comfortable in a back five, Tarkowski I'm not sure yet whether it is a system that suits him or not, I'm not sure how much he's played it before, not much I don't think, and Mykolenko is definitely not suited to a wing back role.
What I'm definitely saying is that our defence is definitely not good enough to compensate for an almost complete absence of cutting edge up front and that when a player has a bad game, as Tarkowski decidedly did yesterday, it is fair game for supporters to comment on.
