You mentioned Pembele has defensive weaknesses; could not a run in the team (be it the under-21s) strengthen this frailty? With Alan Browne in the team as a box-to-box midfielder, would it be possible to play with Mundle and Myenda as potential forwards?. If these young lads get good service...

The King attracts pests and on the court that’s brought a ton of beef.
