[quote author=Pat McMahon As an aside I like Fletcher as a pundit. I thought he was underrated as a player and he seems intelligent and pretty articulate. I have no idea how the BBC thought that Clinton Morrison could fulfil a similar role for them.
Pat, I think they summed it up. No midfielder able to protect the back 4 and none of them seem to want to play that role. I think the 3 in the middle makes the situation worse as there is no definitive role for any of them.
I think the major problem is the midfield aren’t actually doing anything of use. They neither shield the defence, nor do they create anything or set the pace of the game.
