Not Tim but i think Roca struggles in a 2 in midfield.
He can pass but lacks energy / mobility.
Jesse talked about playing 4-3-3 at the World Cup break but its never
really happened - Klich could have been the 10 - i think Roca will be
better in that formation. Still not convinced we'll play it - we have
so many attackers i suspect we'll always try and shoe-horn 4 of them in
- even if it means playing Harrison out of position

Do you agree Tim ?
To be fair to Roca, I think he's probably had his two best games against
Accrington and Brentford but you could hardly sit back and think that he
really influenced the game. I think he's got a nice but limited left
foot. He's quick to get rid when he gets the ball and usually that's
either backwards or poked on to the wing which probably adds to his
forward passes %ge which people on Twitter like to quote.
His problem is fitness and pace. He rarely completes a game and when
we're looking to deliver good balls into the area Marsch seems to favour
young Greenwood. So we have to ask what is Roca's role in the team. He
was touted as the creative midfielder who will unlock defences with his
great passing ability. I don't think we've seen that and against
Brentford he tried two long passes and both went to the opposition.
Watch him getting back when the opposition is breaking, he's usually the
last one.
I think he's a major weakness in our team and I'm hoping the arrival of
the other yank will dislodge him from the team.
