Steve H is right. Sami is a liability at the moment. His form has not been good enough for a long time. As much as I hate to say it, Henchoz makes him look a lot better than he is. I think that Henchoz should come back, but not necessarily for Biscan.

Agreed. When we had the three games of defensive wobbling last season (Blackburn, Newcastle, Birmingham), GH bottled it and went back to everyone behind the ball for 90 minutes. He seems more certain about the new tactics this year though.

totally agree with your last point beni. it just seems such a complete contrast between this season and last. could anyone have seen GH playing Vladi, HK and EHD in the same side. cant help feel that GH reacted to the mounting pressure and thought right you all want attacking football well here you are then, half expecting it to go tits up when he could then say look it dont work like that. to his surprise it does work (well nearly) hence the complete change in the new GH mantra about attacking football. problem is some of the current defense cant really cope with this style,especially their lack of pace.so it appears as if there has been no gradual evolution to our new approach. having said that i am glad he has reacted in this way and hope fervantly that GH can muddle his way through this change (reaction) because the cup is half full now and not half empty.
