I don’t think you need a hard man in midfield but you want someone disciplined to sit and do all the donkey work in order for players like Silva, De Bruyne and Foden to flourish. Best player I’ve seen do that at Championship level in recent seasons is Adam Clayton at Boro. He screens his midfield, covers if a full back bombs forward and does all the dirty stuff. Often goes unnoticed from the outside looking in. I don’t think we have anyone disciplined enough for that role. Too often there are gaping holes in our CM. Totally agree with Adam Clayton just that type of player that we need...a young version though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Barca team that has fallen apart this season, despite having nearly £1bn worth of players in the squad? And Leeds effectively play a 4-1-4-1.

Griezman, Messi, Dembele, Suarez, Braithwaite, Fati and Turan are all able to play as strikers and attacking wide men. The fact is, we don't have the players or the squad depth to play this supposedly revolutionary formation and neither does almost any other team. Even Beilsa doesn't exclusively play this either. I'd go back to the drawing board if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
