Problem here is many don't see Trent as a "6" without a very strong, powerful DM alongside him.
And Mac Allister better as an "8".
Is the solution, playing Sboz wide forward, off a striker, swapping Macca there and then you
sign a beast to mind the shop alongside Trent?
Right. Mental how some haven't learned a thing from the past two seasons.
Trent and Mac as the two deep midfielders next season and Mr Slot will be looking for a new job before the season is out.
No DM means no defensive protection means no restriction to the opposition to our back line.
The one real regret is that Jurgen isn't staying one more season as that's the position he would definitely target (did at the end of the window but that got desperate and ultimately we got what we got). That one quality addition and we'd have been good to go. No more having the advanced midfielders (Mac, Jones and and Dom) be restricted by having to stay close to the slow 6 so as not to leave him exposed, no more moving Mac into a position which is alien to him, just a functioning midfield with a quality 6 doing his job, helping the back line, and allowing the 8s to do theres without having to babysit him.
