After last nights game, I've been thinking about how to get the best out of Holtby.. Something isn't quite clicking for him.. Playing him in the middle of the 3 advanced midfielders hasn't been much of a success for the lad, and when Bale's back - he's pretty much nailed on for that role. Playing him wide means he drifts in to find the ball, leaving fullbacks open.
So, at this moment with Sandro out, should we not try him next to Dembele in the middle? I know he's played deeper before, and got rave reviews for it. It could possibly turn him into our very own Moutinho. This way, we also get Bale, Lennon, and Siggy in the starting 11, and those 3 right now are our main/only goal threats.
I'd like to see AVB give it a go.
Also, is it just me, or does Ade seem to miss chances that are actually harder to miss than score? And none of our strikers pressure the cb's or gamble on near post. They both hang back waiting to be picked out. Very frustrating to watch.
