Some stats don't tell you owt, we know that, you just have to watch the games
to see that he doesn't influence them and they seem to pass him by. I think the
stat was progressive passes, and for him that could be getting the ball and
playing it out to Harrison or Gnonto on the left.
Cardiff was actually one of his better games as he did see a lot of the ball
early on and did try to move things forward and even had a couple of shots that
were blocked but given who we were playing he didn't impress like others did.

Yes, at times we looked to be 433 with Harrison on the left of the midfield 3.
As Rich says though, I’m not convinced by either Greenwood or Roca in central
midfield and certainly not Aaronson.
Roca is a mystery though. I keep seeing people posting metrics on Twitter that
show him in a very positive light, but when I actually watch him at the games I
just don’t see it. The games seem to pass him by most of the time.
Really pleased to see Bamford back and scoring but still massive concerns about
the defence when we play a prem team.

I thought Harrison seemed to be playing more centrally last night - not out on
the touchline. I wonder if that’s part of a longer-term plan; wouldn’t hate the
idea of him in the middle of the pitch…
