A Holding Midfielder


Experience is important in that position so it would be nice to get someone until the end of the season. If Pritchard is back any time soon we may see him playing a bit deeper.
Bottles tackles left right and centre, no good as 1 of the midfielders. His job is as Amad's understudy for the rest of the season if he stays.

I was going to write something about Pritchard being quality, and it being a bit harsh to call him an understudy. But to be honest, there is no way he is getting in ahead of Amad on current form, so you might be right.
 
Watch his lack of desire to get back when we are under attack. He is weak on the ball as well.
Is he fuck man the reason they couldn’t get the ball of us was because we never give it to them having footballers in the team makes a big difference maybe that was his instructions Neil sits he pushed on
 
Two examples of the ball on the left, 1st example, Clarke has cut in from the left. Michut in Red, Neil in Blue

Next example, Clarke just received the ball from Ballard on the left, and cutting in. Again, Michut in Red, Neil in Blue.

Like I said, Neil was always deeper than Michut when he came on.
Can you do some of them for where Trai Hume was on Sunday - total football.😁
 
I think that's it, if you look at the top teams, their CM's can do a bit of everything. Using one player to sit infront of the defense is seen as a waste these days....hell, even your goalie has to be able to pass the ball these days.
said the other day that once michut came on we transitioned play much quicker...a more traditional DM crab just slows things down and allows the opposition to re-group
