"Rudiger for cahill"

We have tweak problems imo. Employ a balance between the short defensive play and the punt. We're adding self inflicted pressure by playing short from Courtois all the time. If you do stick with the short ball, use staff that can execute the plan. Cahill is many great things but a quick footed mobile player he is not. Play to his strengths not his weaknesses. I see the same with Michy, getting loads of abuse and some say it's justified - I don't. Learn his strenths and weaknesses. Absolutely no good attempting to play through Michy down the centre - get down his flanks and serve him from there, that is where he has his strength. He's not the all round striker we want strikers to be so why expect something beyond him! Playing to weaknesses is a complete nonsense to me. Another nonsense, expecting Fabregas to be part of the defensive unit! We're stuttering along but I see small tweaks that could be form changing.
