Central Midfield

Will we ever have someone who will take the bull by the horns and run at the opposition and give them something to worry about.

Time and time again players have yards to run into in the central area yet no one is willing to do so.

Are they just not confident enough, competent enough or are they told to get it out wide all the time.

If we started to run through the middle more, players would almost certainly get chopped down in areas where we could actually have a shot at goal.

Saying that, they would probably all be off target.

Care to cite some examples?

Cattermole, Muntari, Henderson I think 3 is enough for now.

I reckon Muntari will do this when played alongside Catts.

Sorry, I meant examples of the player you'd like to see. Genuine question by the way, not having a go.

I'd like to see the players we have doing it, it just makes me wonder if they are told to get the ball out wide all of the time.

I missed Catts shot did he run with the ball in a central position and hit it...?
