It's one reason I couldn't believe the scouting in the summer. Davies is a solid enough player, but I just couldn't understand why we weren't looking at a quick overlapping player to play behind the likes of Chadli and give us natural width. The likes of Robertson, who Hull picked up for nothing, and looks a future star, had all the attributes we needed.I agree, full backs are such vital positions nowadays. In most teams they need to be able to defend diligently and attack purposefully.
And in Poch's system they're vital. Not just providing width, but contributing intelligently to the attacking play from those wider areas.
Look at Everton who we're playing this Sunday. Their full backs, in Baines and Coleman, piss all over ours.
Its a position we need to improve on big time.
