I don't know for sure but I assume he played behind the striker for them. Playing in the role of Kante is just not for a piss weak player.
I think he scored a hatrick last season playing off Davis against Norwich. Grealish being injured at the time.
Opposition know he flaps playing the holding role and will just pass back to our defence no forward thoughts at all. It's easy for them to force mistakes hence the goals we concede. Same when Whelan plays there both slow in mind and body.
Conor needs to play further forward where he is suited or not at all for me.
Sign a proper holding midfielder that has pace and an eye for a pass with a football brain.
