I see Leif Davis continues to play well for Ipswich and if only we had him slotting in at LB. Also agree Piroe is a bit of a waste at 10 and for me Rutter out wide or as the 10 looks a better fit.
Looks totally lost at times at 10 does Piroe. Rutter is much much better playing a bit deeper..

The thing is, Piroe's all round game has never been the best. He's a great ball striker and finisher, but he doesn't stretch a back line, he doesn't link play, and he doesn't press high. He's in the 10 because he can't press high, and being a bit deeper means he, in theory, can get more opportunities to strike from distance, which is one of his strengths. Moving him to 9 may be more effective, but the front line is so fluid, i doubt we'd notice any difference beyond where they're named on the team sheet.

Couple of downsides to that is one Byram is a RB and two he is very injury prone. Compare the assists from Davis to Byram and Davis is miles ahead. But as it stands Byram is doing a great job there.

Judging by his press conference, Farke read my post.
