We both agreed he needed a chance playing through the middle when it wasn’t as soon as he’s moved to a new club in a new country. He should be our first choice 9 (I’ve heard you’re not into the numbers thing but I don’t care).
Just to pick up on this, he often starts there picking a ball up from a CB, but then he will drift forwards more than a third centre back would.
If we lose possession high up the pitch, that’s where the third CB becomes a massive help.
That’s fair mate, he wasn’t really a problem as such, just felt having a midfielder that deep at times was almost a little bit of a waste. He’s been consistently good in all his other games so far so I get it.
