That's a decent option and agree definitely at the base of the midfield as you say performing his defensive crab duties as well as his quarterback duties starting attacking moves.

But does your suggestion mean a 4-4-2 diamond? If so it solves the Wootton issue of being better with a strike partner alongside him but the problem is it doesn't solve the soft middle issue depending on team selection.

If not and more diamond with 4-1-2-1-1, it strengthens the middle but no width.

Wing backs sound great on paper but in reality it's tough to make it work. Plus I don't think we need them cos then we are pushing Enzio/Roberts inside.

So many options with so many consequences both good and bad. It's a complex issue and way above my pay grade in football terms. That's what managers and coaches get paid for, so I'm leaving them it to them.

One thing I do know the right answer is in there somewhere but it's a fluid answer as players form comes and goes.
