He loses the ball every time you give him the ball facing the wrong way and that is a major issue. Some would say why give it him facing the wrong way? But that will happen in combination passing play where we are trying to work the ball up the field but when it reaches Enzio we lose it. Rose is quite simply not good enough in area of the game, he too lacks even the basics of being able to bring the ball under control and pass it to feet. His pass completion must be under 50% which is unforgiveable fir a centre midder. We dont score enough goals (28 in 24 league games) however we still have only 2 teams in the league with a better defensive record than us so im not having the back 5 being the problem.
