But He has been struggling as a winger in that he has limited speed and can't go past defenders. In his present role the emphasis is on tracking back and covering. He made two tackles that I can recall against Palace. Both were fouls and he got booked.
Our set up is one wing and a prayer. NM L poses far more threat and keeps the opposition busy, and He can track back and tackle better.
Make no mistake, we fought hard against Palace but we're very lucky they missed so many changes.
The ultra defensive system is not working. We need to adapt it a little and make our opponents worry about us on the counter. For me one way to achieve this is to rest Hoilett. What have we to lose, we are not expwcted to get a result and a slight change can't be worse than 2 away points all year and those against lowly Huddersfield (10 men) and Palace (lucky they were p+as poor in front of goal.
