The problem is since Pienaar has left and Barry has left, as well as Richy there's nobody who can hold the ball or slow it down. So unless a team gives us lots of room such as Brighton, Brentford, or certain other teams, when we can get in behind we really struggle. The lack of pace in the central midfield under
Moyes was balanced by having Coleman, Mirallas, Pienaar and Baines on the wings. At least Anichebe could hold on to the ball, even Yak and Beckford could. We had this problem against Arsenal earlier on in the season, every time the ball when back to them for a breakaway and they went through our Midfield like a bit knife through butter. Because there's no skill in central midfield, either Myki or Patto have to support the attack leading to them being out if position and the opposition scoring.
