I'm totally fed up with this Bily in the middle rubbish! Just making excuses!
He has the ball taken off him out wide and seems to struggle with the fast pace of the game, so would that be far worse in the middle? If he can't get space out wide where is he gonna get it? Is he a fast moving quick passer like David Silva? Does he work hard and get stuck in like Cahill? Yeah didn't think so.
Plus, we don't really play wingers, why are people saying he gets played as a winger? They're attacking midfielders who play mostly on the inside or are you some just ignorant to how we play football? His best assets are crossing and shooting, two things that can be utilised properly on each side of midfield can't they? He scored against UTD coming in from the right onto his left foot same with Pompy, so he's drifting behind the striker already no? What else would he offer behind the striker? We use channels to create space for our midfield as we don't use wingers (Coleman being the closest) so again, what makes people think he'd be amazing? Never seen him play a thru ball that worked!
Plus with Saha going into the channels (normally left side due to Coleman being more direct) this opens up space for Cahill to push foward and the midfield. Pienaar used to thrive with this, also with Baines creating a passing angle to come inside. So again, why the hell is it so hard for Bily? Why? Cos' he's not good enough for this league.
