I am giving an explicit opinion of Brendan. His attacking football tactics, diamond formation etc are good, that's why we were probably the most exciting team to watch in Europe. But, his defence set ups are his Archiles' heel.
Can only hope that one day BR realises that a specialist defensive coach would be a welcome addition to our backroom staff. However the problem with employing a (imo badly needed) defensive coach is that his instructions would no doubt be in conflict with BR's attacking philosophy, which is probably the reason why we no longer have one :( .
Get Steve Clarke back.
Personally i think that the problem is more with the system in defense rather than the personnel. It needs to be sorted out because it just isn't working and hasn't been working since last season. Lovren, Skrtel, Sakho, Agger are all good centrebacks so i can't help but feel that something must be wrong with the defensive system.
