I believe the key to sorting our problems is getting the midfield right. It is the engine room of the team and controls the game. You win the battle there and you dominate, lose it and your defence comes under pressure.I have not seen anything in the opposition this season to warrant two defensive midfield players. If we are going to finish in the top 6, we have to take the game to the opposition. For this, we have to play 3 balanced players in the middle. We have to spread our players over more of the pitch. Too many times we look to have players tripping over their own players because we have similar players getting into the same positions. This is why I favour 3 in the middle.Of the players we have, Jedinek should be the defensive controlling player, Tshbola the runner when he is fit and that leaves the creativity. I think we should have kept Veretout as he was the only player in my mind that fitted this role. The alternative is to try and convert Grealish to play this position. He has the intelligence to play there, he needs the confidence to do it.
I think we dominated against forest no?

It's also what you do when you don't have the ball
