Good post Jim - the other factor is that he's not at his best when playing too deep

And in Farke's system, it's inevitable that he would have to drop deep to get on the ball.

It's the same with Maddison to a degree, much more effective when on the ball up the pitch and running at players, but not to the same extent as Wes.

Lambert used him to best effect by identifying that he's not a midfielder really; he's a forward best played behind a front two. That diamond midfield, with Wes the key component, was the driving force behind our success.
