The whole transfer policy has been flawed for the past 3 years (arguably 9!).
If TM's preferred way of playing is with 3 at the back, then ensure that there is at least a natural left and right footed centre half playing there and at least one commanding centre half to complement. Instead of trying to convert all and sundry to fit. You could apply the same scenario through midfield and up front too. Mowbray's thinking is at best muddled, always has been throughout his tenure.
How many signings, team selections and substitutions could you honestly wholeheartedly understand and agree with during the past 3 years?
His only decent signing is Dack and TM tries to understandably accommodate him wherever and whenever, which IMO further compounds his muddled thinking.
Is it 'a wide forward' or is it 'a winger who tracks back'? Who tracks back to cover a full back? What's pass and move? etc.
I've scratched my head for 3 years, I'm sure the players must do likewise.
I'm sick of Mowbray and apologies, probably wrong thread.
