i feel some sympathy with edu. there is no way he is a def mid. why we use him in this role is beyond me. i don't think this type of mid is needed. its only needed because we are to slow at cb. to ask edu (a decent box to box midfielder) to play the holding role is unfair. if we could take the shackles off whittaker and allow him to do what he's good at, which is attacking then the whole balance of the team would be better. the only way to do that is to drop weir and play a quicker cb. if you look at the modern game and indeed the past 20 years, attacking full backs are crucial. alves, glen johnson, cole, hell even the tims play with attacking full backs. that was the diference in todays game. other names from our own past the likes of numan, robertson, stevens and hutton. whittaker is a good attacking full back. that is what we signed him to be.
