Midfield

Interesting fact I just read. With Tanaka and Rothwell in midfield we’ve won one away game in eight..

Does Gruev offer that little bit extra away from home? I thought he had a superb game last night. Some nice little forward passes at times as well. His break up play is excellent too.

At home I think we can afford to play without a true DM but away from home we sometimes need that extra bit of security in midfield.

Excellent use of his squad by Farke.

Batty I think we're better than the yoyoer's
As long as we don't buy a bunch of fat or injury prone Americans we'll be okay.

Only fair to point out Tanaka & Rothwell were in midfield at Sunderland (best away performance of the season for me) & Hull City.

We had both those games in the bag. I'll not go into why we let them slip 🤣

We let them slip because we lost control of the game at crucial times. I seem to remember Rothwell sliced his clearance to give away the corner they scored from.

No doubt that panic set in when calm heads were needed. You can blame the keeper all you want but others allowed the pressure to build as well as he did.

Just watching the Liverpool press stifle Spurs in the Carabao Cup tonight. We've got a bit of catching up to do.

Stoopo, I think it’s worth remembering also that almost all of Ilia Gruev’s games have seen rock solid club captain Ethan Ampadu playing in the side also.

Most of the games with the Tanaka/Rothwell playing involved having Rodon and Struijk as the centre back pairing.

With a fully match fit pairing on Saturday, Leeds looked unstoppable and I am confident that they would have repeated the feat last night.

There are at least 2 top Americans that are getting fatter now!.

Changing the rest of the world, but they'll both be part of the lucky few to make on it!..
