He did a commendable job. However we had no width at all as a result. Every time Garner got the ball he came inside on his right foot. N’Diaye was more isolated than usual and don’t get me started on our right side.

balance?
the lack of anything out wide is a concern.
and they've rolled out there for that half like a bus full of pished strangers arguing over who farted on said bus.
