You don't replace one of the DMs with Poveda or Patino in my book, we aren't good enough defensively, especially with the CM pairing changing so much.
You play one of them in front of 2 DMs, selected from TT, KD, LM and KS. As long as we have two of those fit! I don't think we are good enough to play one DM.
Patino came here to get experience and add something, not to hold us together. And he is adept at playing attacking players in and getting into the box. Same with Poveda.
And to say TT and KD can't pass isnt really true. Its a sweeping, one context reading of the situation. The sirt of nonsense Herts comes out with! If we get set up right, and settled, with the right options in front and out wide, they will find team mates more often than not. Stability leads to better passing surely. Too many peiple judge individuals who are under performing in a side that's not set up well, and not settled enough to gel together.
