I think Shelvey dropping so deep to dictate tempo didn't help Wijnaldum. He was crowded out in the centre of the pitch by all of Sunderland's midfielders whenever Shelvey went into "Quarterback" mode between the two CBs. Potentially why he looked more anonymous in our slow build up phases; which he has done pretty much all season tbf, sans Shelvey.

 

Solution could be a De Jong dropping in there or Tiote coming back from the wilderness...or an Abeid type player...

 

Yea SDJ could help with this. And both Gini and Siem are intelligent players so should be able to find those pockets of space between lines. Just if we had a striker with a clever movement..

Thanks. Might be sensible to follow suit. With Townsend and Sissoko also stretching them/giving them something to think about

Wasn't he s**** for Holland though?

Hasn't he been shite for us in that position for a good number of weeks now? Take away his odd goal, his cross v Sunderland was the first thing he's done for months.

Form is always going to fluctuate, but he isn't a central midfielder; he's not a winger either. Rafa has had a look at him centrally and personally I think it would be an oversight not to use him in preferred position.

This fucker needs to start pulling his weight and get his arse in gear away from home. Starting today I hope we see the clearly gifted footballer this lad really is...he could be massive for us in the run in.

 

Come on son. Make a name for yourself!!!
