JonBez how do you rate his close control/ball retention. Looks elite to me and maybe even better than Bruno at times.

Our first choice midfield now has to be considered any 3 from the 4, not the first choice three that it was and Miley as the replacement if necessary.

IMHO he is the most natural and accomplished finisher of the four and that's something we could do with right now.

I plan on trying to compile a post of all my muddled up thoughts about the tactics and the lack of long range shooting or shooting opportunities at some point.  But I agree.  I think he could actually start chipping in with goals from around the edge of the box.  Something we are massively lacking.  Joelinton seems incapable of it, Bruno scores but is rarely beating the keeper from far out and Tonali seems quite unlucky with his shooting.  As he often catches it sweetly, only for it to be just off target or blocked.  Along with a couple of belters off the bar last season.  Not seen enough of Ramsey yet, but he's barely had a shot and Willock's shooting is abysmal.

I'm not sure (especially against Wolves) it's worth playing Tonali and Joelinton together. They are essentially doing the same thing.

 

I think Joelinton-Miley-Bruno is a nicely balanced midfield and would like to see that a little more. Worried the start/stop playing of Miley, and shoving him in random positions, might stunt his momentum a bit.
