I agree with this. The extra protection isn't helping.... We need legs in the middle and able to transition.I agree with this except I wouldn't play 3 DMs. I'd have Gray as the holder, Sarr as the engine and Simons as the playmaker.
I'd bring Pahlinha on a 70 minutes to kill the game if we are ahead or clinging to a draw, but I wouldn't use him in a situation where we are wanting to be front-footed. His transitioning and breaking are just too slow
However, I would think about Palinha at centre back, or in for Gray. He just has a hunger about him
