It IS the case.
Again - it wasn’t my post but the point the writer (who has a very good technical understanding) was making is sound.
No one is saying the midfield CAN’T create.......what he said is that’s NOT their primary function in our team.
Why did we chase fekir all summer then?
Why did we sign the ox?
Why did we sign Keita?
Why was coutinho moved into the middle to play as part of the Fab Four?
Why has klopp gone on record dozens of time and stated how much we miss Adam Lallana who was also moved into the middle before his injury?
If creativity IS NOT THE MIDFIELDS PRIMARY FUNCTION then why don't Wijnaldum, Milner and Henderson start every single game for us then who most would consider our best runners?
Why don't we sign more players in that type of mold then? Work horses?
Because after all we rely on on our full backs for creativity don't we.
It's f**king insane that people think we will win trophies without creativity from our midfield and that they even come on Internet forums talking absolute sh*te about it trying to sound educated. I've never read so much rubbish about football in my whole life.
