A good article that shows very well the complexity of squad management. Plenty of good points. However I would possibly question the remark of Hassenhuttl's playing style. Whilst it's very pertinent that will come into mind when making decisions about who to retain, there is a chance we could guess Herr H's style incorrectly. He's still new to us. I wonder if he is a '3 at the back with wing-backs aside' guy. Has he not used 'flat back four' elsewhere plenty of times and was it not the case that he went with 3 here for reasons of the moment?
I think the quotes you give and the way I read it would suggest that our attention (as spectators outside) is not on Davis & Fleming and the First Team. I see changes in the Academy and youth teams. I say that as no criticism but I think Hassenhuttl wants to create a conveyor belt of suitable players.
