Think he thinks he is better than he actually is. And he got dropped after dundee game for constantly trying 60 yard passes n turning possession over. That said he probably still our best defender
Those passes were a strong point when we played a different way either out to tav or to Kent on the left.
Silva doesn't have pace for it and tav is getting played in inverted fb role so no need for the long passes.
Clement needs to get his own players in to play the role he wants them to play but we already knew good few of this squad can't play the way clement wants to and are probly physically and mentally done.
Clement does need to be pragmatic a little and play a way that suits the players till he gets his own players in and injuries clear up.
He wants to play with inverted fbs and moving ball fast with wingers providing the width like ange did with them
You look at Carter vickers he's a good player but playing that way puts a lot of miles into the body and 2 sessions of it has pretty much turned him into injury ridden mess this year.
This is problem playing this way the cbs have a lot of work to do to play that way covering wide as well as centrally normally holding a high line.
Gio played this way as well to an extent but mainly when bassey was in the team as his pace could help recover.
Goldson can't play this way without a pacy partner or one like helander who is good at reading game.
I like balogun and his pace helps but he is a prone to mistakes as goldson and souttar
I'm not really sure what's happened to us since benfica is difficult to say the away game we were excellent but the home game was a strange
Was bizarre in going man for man at the back and overloading at corners against genuine pace is why we lost the goal.
We sometimes just need be simple and not over complicate things and play to our strengths
