It is alright to have someone in midfield who can put his foot on the ball, slow the game down and then launch attacks but that only really works when you have lots of pace in a team something we don't have.Tenacity and pace are different, im not saying our midfield isn't slow and ponderous, but I think that's cos Gomes and Iceberg play in such a style, they like to put their foot on the ball.
I dunno, maybe its me, people keep calling for pace, I don't think its pace we lack, its tenacity, desire, quicken the ball up.
KDB isn't a pacy player, hes not slow, but his speed is in his head, the quickness on the ball, switching play, if that's what people mean by pace, then sure, we need "pace".
