I presume this has been pointed out already, but I really think we miss Lennon a hell of a lot.
We are a different team without the two wide men and teams with managers who have a bit of nouse can easily deal with us in the final third when we play a CM out of position on the right (or left).
Its not even necessarily Lennon that we are missing, its someone with a bit of skill and pace out wide on both flanks, we are very good at switching play and pulling defences across the pitch when our wide me are direct and Modric/VDV or whoever fills in there just naturally isnt able to do this.
I think Harry needs to get a bit more bollocky and start giving people like Rose a chance out there, or Townsend a go.
