Agreed, which is why I'm not sure he belongs out wide

but then, not sure he's a number 10 either.

Not such a problem in the championship where we have loads of the ball, pinning teams in, trying to break them down.

I might be wrong, I just think our best chance is to exploit teams when we have them out of shape, and pace seems necessary.
