Livermore doing the work of two defensively. Suffering for carrying Sawyers in that area.
Sawyers needs to come out for Brunt. We saw on Saturday how effective good positional sense is defensively as a shield to the back four. Sawyers offers nothing here.
The other big difference is penetration of pass. Completion stats are one thing, but we don’t get it to where it needs to go quickly enough. This allows teams to reset and double up, stifling our wide men.
Our two best passes of the night were when Hegazi picked out Krovi between the lines, reminiscent of Olsson to Morrison from the Clarke season. Brunt picks out this type of pass for fun, all over the pitch. He has no less pace than Sawyers and needs to start Saturday, particularly if we have Robinson offering the threat in behind.
