I think CM is the root cause of our issues

A good centre midfield makes the defence look better and the attack look better too.

We’ve had the double whammy of an under performing / injured CM pairing, together with number 10s playing poorly.

When everyone is fit again (wishful thinking?) Kenny and pelle in cm and wright at 10, playing a little deeper than maghoma would but covering more ground
