Central Midfield

[Deggo]

It's all irrelevant because our manager has said he won't be adding to the squad in January so we're stuck with what we have

Besic. That is all

 

[messymascot]

I'd like to see Besic and Cleverley given a chance as a partnership if McCarthy doesn't get fit soon. Barry hasn't done much wrong in fairness but he's just a yard off the pace sometimes and he can't recover. Gibson if he could stay fit would be good competition for Cleverley as they are the most forward thinking. Maybe Barkley could drop there one day but at the moment he's our best Attacking Midfielder.

Our central midfield is badly letting us down. They just don't do enough to have an impact on the game. There's little protection of the back 4 and there's no creativity either. That's not good enough for what should be your two most important players on the pitch. It's a pipe dream but we need someone in the ilk of Cazorla that has a real impact on the game.

We have some very good centre midfielders but the lack of fitness and tactics don't help them.
Its time to change our defensive shape and try besic in there

Replace Barry or Clerveley by a player like Nainggolan and you'll see a big improvement.
