If Khazri had ever shown an aptitude for tracking back he’d have been playing football at a higher standard than SAFC.We started the game with a midfield three of Leadbitter, Cattermole, and Power, with Honeyman operating on the right side of the front three. I think that middle 3 is good enough to control the game, with Leadbitter and Cattermole's technical ability and Power's running. He gets a bad press on here Max Power, but he was a solid League 1 player really - decent engine, bit of bite, had a shot on him, and could pass well enough when he wasn't having delusions of Stevie G grandeur.
When we lost Power we lost our legs in midfield. Honeyman will buzz about all day, but without actually doing anything. He moves into midfield, Lewis Morgan goes wide right, and our gameplan goes to pot.
I'd be inclined to agree here. I always felt Sam was more bothered about not losing that game than winning it.
Mind you, I'm not convinced Khazri would have tracked back any better. He was a lazy get after all. Not his game at all.
That Serb was destined to score that like. Bastards.
