Why don't we just play Emi at 10?

He wins more tackles than either Kenny or Stiepi, would cover as much ground as Kenny and more than Stiepi, would be closer to Pukki, and would be in a better position to actually score some goals.

And he wouldn't have to run himself into the ground covering right back.

The only thing you'd miss is an aerial threat. Kenny does win some headers, but Stiepi barely wins any.

Slight concern defending set pieces, but a price worth paying given we're not great at that anyway.
