The two full-backs are young and need direction - it's no wonder they go walkabout at times. I don't see anyone managing the line or instructing from the back.
I have no idea if he's played in defence at all, but Ness strikes me as someone who could do this job in a kind of sweeper role alongside two centre-halves. That means a change in formation - it might be perceived as negative but we must fix the leak first.
I'd say songo'o would play that sort of role better, maybe as a CDM that could slot into a back three when playing defensively then push forward into DM when we go forward?
Agree it's more logical as a defender but we need a marshall at the back. I don't see that in Songo'o.
