I'm definitely not saying that. If we're to stick with playing 3 at the back, it makes no sense why we're not playing Merts or Holding considering how impressive they've been when playing that formation. But I think both were injured. In which case, it makes even less sense to play 3 at the back with so many CB's unavailable. Just play Kos and Monreal as the pair and go back to 4-3-3.
