So long as they get used. Our central midfield today was piss poor, weren't in the game at all. Clucas is effective in the left wing why move him? Diame is a central midfielder, yes he may have more licence to venture forwards from the wing to do his stuff but he's better centrally. He's not a lightweight number 10 who's all playing the ball and not a lot else, Diame runs around and tracks back and gets stuck in too so absolutely no reason not to play him in the middle.
Our other two central midfielders were on the bench, Meyler especially should have been thrown into such a scrap at half time, he would have revelled in a game like that, right up his street.
Hayden was poor again, I don't know why he wasn't sent back in January. I wasn't at the Leicester game but I've seen all his other appearances and he hasn't looked convincing at all. He's not our player, why bother weakening our side to keep him happy and help him develop?
Meyler and Tom for me and throw Diame back up behind Hernandez, both out of form but we've no one better and those two work well together. If we're going to make a serious push to hit the top of the league we need those pair back on song sooner rather than later, that ain't gonna happen when one of thems on the bench.
