Pedersen

We have a back 5 with 2 new additions looking overall, quite solid and organised.
I'm trying hard to support Pedersen's role in that 5.
He's 26 years of age and has played 200 games at senior level with teams in Denmark, Germany and now the UK. ( 80 odd for us )
He gives 100% every game and is both agile and athletic. He's durable too and blessed with good fitness.
His positional sense occasionally goes awol and his distribution sometimes wayward. It's his lack of composure which tends to let him down. Not sure if that's a confidence thing or if the combination of him and Bela is taking a long time to click and exposing that tendency to rush clearances and passes. Maybe he needs to put his foot on the ball more and look up to assess his options.
It won't be an overnight cure but if Karanka and the coaches could iron out these aspects of his game we'd concede less and hopefully pose more of a threat from our left side attacks.
Fingers crossed !

EDIT - all of the above was posted before the Green announcement but mods have merged threads and it maybe it looks out of kilter..
