  • Cucurella should have remained on the right or be benched, Why fix the defence if it's not broken? Poch needs to know selection of players and to the sort of team, backline shouldn't have been changed, clearly Ugochukwu was a needless buy, dude is even confused on which country to play for, They all need therapy
