Three questions that define the autumn
Editorial watchlistCan Šeško receive with support?
A forward pass needs a midfielder close enough for the lay-off and second action.
Who controls the middle third?
Slovenia need a stable pair that can resist pressure without dropping onto the centre-backs.
Can the line defend higher?
Oblak's security allows ambition, but pressure on the ball must protect the space behind.
