Bit of a funny one our midfield, were too defensive as it is. We all like our hardmen midfielders and Mckenna doesnt quite fit that description but i think another defensive player is the last thing we need when were struggling for goals, trying to think of a good box to box midfielder who can tackle and score, pretty hard to come by, Neil Danns maybe?Tunnicliffe springs to mind, but id like to see us go ultra attacking and bring George Boyd in either that or play Aluko and Koren either side of Mckenna or evans and have two proper strikers up top.
That's a good point although I do think McKenna is strong and brave enough to be our hardman. He's not Ashbee, but he's the best alternative we've had since.
As for the box-to-box midfielder, Koren can do the job, we already know he can. He's upped his game a lot recently so he's no longer an awkward luxury player who can't fit into a 4-4-2 but he's a proper box-to-box, playmaking midfielder who leads by example. In terms of home games he will probably be used in the position and we'll be fine. The thing is when we play 5-3-2 away from home we need another one and whilst he isn't my favourite due to his lack of quality on the ball, Evans can do that job.
