We need that drive in midfield to create more space and uncertainty over who to mark in our opponents.
Westwood and KEA don't drive forward with the ball, they always look to move the ball on immediately, and when they come up against their man and can't make the obvious pass to the nearest guy, they pass it backwards. It's retarded, and even if they manage to pass it on to any of the nearest guys, they would have already been closed down. In our midfield only Delph is able to drive the ball forward and create space for the team. Westwood and KEA are so predictable to play against. Forget premier league opposition, any decently organised league 1 midfield would find defending against KEA/Westwood pretty easy. Delph is the only wildcard in there.
Yea, and my point is Sylla provides something different. At this point I think we should try Bacuna, Delph and Sylla, to provide strong running from midfield and directness.
