Despite the loss, today provides 'food for thought' regarding Olise as a potential number ten.
Since our transfer policies left ourselves so vulnerable in the middle and JMac got injured, we've suffered two problems. One was attacking through the middle. Second, that we lacked CMs able to play our system and was forced to play Schlupp.
What if we were to stick with Olise as a ten? We could add that extra threat through the middle via his superb through ball passes. As a bonus, we would only require two deeper-sitting CBs, behind. That would give us four players ( JMac, Gallagher, Hughes and Kouyate ) vying for two spots. We would finally have actual midfield cover and the ability to make high-quality substitutions for tiring midfielders late on. Ayew is a fine shield for the full back and Ward / Clyne would be happy to see him on the right. Ayew is also so tricky and gets us up field very well, even if end product is lacking.
Or is that a bad idea? Would the midfield be weak with Olise behind the striker and only two sitting midfielders? Would we miss Olise's crosses too much?
Thoughts?
