has to survive the next four games without a yellow to avoid it.

I feel like he has a lot of intangible qualities that won’t show up even if you were looking at advanced stats. 
 

To use a cliche. Setting the tone would be one. Scaring the opposition would be another  

 

His recovery runs are really underrated, as even if he doesn’t get across. He is often there to shut off the cut back or pass back inside. 
 

He often becomes a bit of an out ball with some mid-range passes aimed into him at chest and head height. We miss that from the back when he is out. As nobody else in our team seems capable of holding the ball up back to goal.
 

He can play out of trouble when facing his own goal because of his size. It doesn’t always work. But it often wins us a free kick or gets us up the pitch. 
 

Bit of a rogue and brain dead at times. Not the best technically. But I feel like he embodies all that has made this Howe team great, since the move to midfield.

I like him a lot and he's easily our 3rd best CM but fuck me do we need to upgrade on him.

 

Don't think that will be easy like. He can be a bit loose with the ball, but he can also be brilliant. Will take a damn good player and I think we have bigger priorities.

was popping up all over the pitch.

RB at one point.

[huss9]

he can afford to get a yellow in the final without triggering a suspension.

If we qualify for the CL, we'll need another genuine CM option. Maybe not a proper "upgrade" but someone that is effective in a different way. I don't think Miley is close.
