....THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in modern football. There is no classic number 10 anymore who is in the hole behind the striker and doesn't run much (except at Arsenal with Ozil and he has sucked these past 3 years).
So that's why Zaha plays through the middle and RLC, who is a very technical player, but unable to cover the entire width of the pitch in pressing (like Zaha does), plays on one side. Pressing in the middle is much more important.

Play Zaha on the wing and RLC in the center, you get more crosses in the box, but you don;t recover as many balls.

I know many want to change the positions of those 2, but I think a fast player behind Benteke is imperious.
Agreed?

If I follow your train of thought, the boys hunting high and low should scare the living daylights out of a lot of teams.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.
