Archie Gray

I was always surprised how much time Wanyama spent ahead of Dembele. We would call Vic the 6 and Mousa the 8, but it rarely became that. They just changed places in a double pivot. So did Winksy as well when he was deputising. It was only really Dier that played the 6 in a more orthodox way.

I'd love to see some of that intelligent double pivot midfield again.
Sadly will never see a player like the Moose ever again. Built like a truck moved like a gazelle

Much like the Pirlo x Gattuso partnership at Milan. Deep lying playermaker with an layer of protection in front, not that Dembele needed it.
 
Still waiting for them to announce Dembele for this Legends game...him v Pirlo worth the admission fee all day
 
He did say once (back when he was signed) that he likes being a No.8. We are so desperate for a DM right now though so that's what people want him to become. I suppose he's still young enough and talented enough to learn any role. Will be interesting to see. For all we know the next coach brings in a pure DM and Gray moves forward or ends up on loan somewhere.
1, I agree its our biggest weakness and has been all season.

2, I do hope so.
 
Thought grey has played CB for too long and now way off his development in his preferred position compared to bergvall. But I think grey will overcome it in a few games and with the right coach and system. Him making up for lapses in defence shows he is a smart selfless player
You could at least try to get his name right in his own thread, mottlegore
