Agreed

There will be a formula to get the best out of R and R playing together, but IB hasn't hit on it yet.
It has to involve off-the-ball runners to combine with or they'll be dribbling into a brick wall a lot of the time...

And it won't be with 5-2-3 either, with the wide play coming from DKE (and has Taylor been as good as Miller was?)
We only started 2 games with 4-3-3, 2 wins.
6 games with a back 3 / 5...W2 D3 L1

Finally, the relationship between the 2 is very important. Hope they realise that they really aren't in competition with one another (why the hell did Cal take the pens away from him?)...one's success can only help the other.
Following the NBA, I think of a player like Carmelo Anthony who always seemed to want to be the top dog on his team rather than being focussed on the team's needs as a whole. That's a recipe for failure and it sure was. No idea if there's anything like this going on, but IB and team have to make sure it's the very opposite of that...

As for Saturday. We could have Ruben behind Woots with one or both of Mitchell and Nemane to hit with passes as well.
