Well look at last night. He clearly has a far better engine than Xhaka and you could really see him being a real weapon there. Has a great shot on him too. Put it this way. I'd 100% prefer Tierney played there if Xhaka was out than Vieira.
Fabio's great. But I can see the logic as playing a LB as the left-sided 10 if we're playing a 10 at LB.

We should really be training the most gifted two-footed creative from the academy to play the Zinny LB role cos it's not something that can easily be replaced.
