Sometimes. Gundogan was playing forward yesterday. There are multiple reasons:Isn't the problem with the attack that they're playing with two holding midfielders?
1) we miss Dave
2) we miss Dave
3) we miss Dave
4) Kev and Raz and Bernie lack form/confidence. Not just in front of goal but the clear cut assists we had come to expect
5) against the better teams we are playing two pivots which is restricting chances being made
6) until Cancelos performance yesterday our full backs are offering little in attack
7) transition from defence to attack is noticeably slower comparing Rodri with Fern
8) the pace of pass has noticeably dropped this season
9) we miss Dave
10) did I mention, we miss Dave?
Cancelos performance yesterday gives Pep some thinking. He was quite magnificent in attack and all our best stuff came through him. He lacks Walkers pace though and defensive physicality. Maybe they will be chosen depending on the opposition. Difficult for Cancelo to replicate that performance yesterday from the left. He tries but is hampered by being relatively one footed.
