Pack- defensive awareness, organiser, talks all game, can pick a pass and doesn’t hoof it as his first option
Ralls- energy and gets up and down the pitch, puts it all in and battles
Vaulks- little seen but looks comfortable on the ball, can pass, and gets around the pitch
All 3 NATURAL midfielders
I agree Pato has an energy and puts a shift in and I’m not denying the lad is a decent player, but he doesn’t have A position,as such.
Put him on last 20 if were winning to give them something to think about.
Put him on last 20 if were a goal down and want to pump long balls out to the side right for him to get onto.
When improvements come along, you have to put them in the team, even at the expense of the manager and fans favourites, for the benefit of the whole team.
