Expand Mostly plays on the right of a midfield 2 or 3. More advanced and with more attacking freedom than a 6 would traditionally play. If we had an out and out defensive midfielder, you could play them side by side I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand i thought we were in for him to potentially replace shelvey, giving us a midfield trip of joe, bruno and tielemens. i suppose with those three you wouldn't have a traditional holding midfielder as such, but tielemens and bruno could take turns sitting/covering when the other one breaks forwards. i noticed longstaff did that quite well with bruno against fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like a true blue DM to allow Bruno to play further forward, to allow the fullbacks to push further forward and to provide a bit more support for the CBs too.

Expand because he's on a heater. don't ever leave the table when you're on a heater. okay, it's a one-match winning streak but the rule is if you start a match-winning thread, you're not relieved of duties until we lose.
