I'm just sat here trying to work out how we can get the best out of this young guy who, obviously, is very talented, but seems to quite often see the game slip by him (I remember this being said about him by some Ajax fans when we signed him too)..
I'm not convinced he's either comfortable or happy playing so far forward/wide.. I know he's played there for Ajax, but I think he's also been played a bit deeper in the midfield three.. Could this be the position where we get the most out of him?
I'd like to see us play 3 in midfield, with one guy sitting (Capoue, Stambouli), and Eriksen and Mason just ahead, who can take it in turns to break forward.. (This also gives us the option of Lamela and Townsend on the wings adding pace).
We've got this guy and we all know how good he can be, but for some reason it's not quite working... Would he benefit as Luka did by playing a little deeper?
