No one presses like Meatball. Don't think he has the discipline/legs for a general/defensive midfield role but he's not exactly a number 10 either.

We've tried him as defensive/ deeper midfielder with more discipline and restrictions but it doesn't suit his game. He's better up higher up, with freedom to pick passes (or pick fights) as he sees fit. El Ghazi's workrate as well as goal output have come on leaps and bounds this year. Trez was giving us plenty of workrate on the right earlier this season. Bertrand is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. From the sublime to the ridiculous - sometimes in the same move. Only he and Jack don't really put a shift in defensively. But Jack -if the ball is anywhere near him in the opposition half- is canny enough to nick it. And does so much with it anyway you can never countenance dropping him. Unless your partial to Burton waistcoats and horse biscuits, obv. A nuisance of right sided winger with a blast of pace will help with the press and make us even harder to play against next season. Don't give the opposition a moment's rest.
Very jealous of your power cut. ☹
Remember the days of Billy Bremmer, Joe Jordan,Kenny Delgesh, even our own Des Bremmer, and of course Ken McNaught and Alan Evans and many more that graced the English game, sadly missing today, afraid looking at the Scottish game won't see that type of player again apart from mad John Mcginn
