They had us chasing shadows.I agree with Bronté. We have options in midfield and see Whelan as a better defensive midfielder, Omanah better deeper but with some freedom and Hourihane (and Lansbury) further up the pitch or at least going box to box. Until we get the midfield functioning to their strengths and potential we'll continue to have the 3rd best defence but only the 9th best attack. Even with our striker injuries there's plenty of goals in this side and it's something we need to improve.It's still early days but I honestly believe once we do click we'll smashing a few teams.I think our best set up in midfield would be a three with Whelan and Jedinak holding and with Onomah and Hourihane pushed further up like they were against Norwich.

Three?
Or it’s an oblique reference to Jamie Redknapp’s in-commentary truism last season when he referred to Chelsea’s dominant midfield two of Kante on the right, Matic in the middle and Kante on the left.
