Yeah, and I don't think either Kenny or Nunez is a natural holding midfielder

they can both do it, but would probably both rather be further forward. Which is why our midfield sometimes seems empty in transition.

I don't really see either of them screaming for the ball from the centre backs with their backs to goal.

Moving on to the number 10 position, both Wes and Maddison dropped in a lot and often did scream for the ball. I don't see Ramsey doing that.

        Skipp was always the main outball for the centre backs I think (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 15, 16:11:56
