Don't get me wrong, there is lots to like about Szmodics. He works his socks off for the team, has an eye for goal (he probably should've had 4 already this season and needs a goal) and he seems to be a good egg in the dressing room. In my option, since being here he's been played out of position, whether that's on the left or as a central 10. Neither show him at his best. In the central 10 he does not have the guile required to unlock low block defences with quality passes or that bit of skill. His best qualities are off the shoulder of the last man or poaching in and around the box. He looks a frustrated figure at times. Is Akpom the central 10 solution? Maybe but for me we do not yet have the right balance there at the moment. Cajuste, Walle Egeli or maybe Cam Humphreys and Nunez are possibilities as we need someone more creative than Sam in that central 10. Just my opinion mind! |  |

Right up top with no defensive responsibility otherwise than pressing central defenders. In his golden boot season he was a striker, often playing off a 9. Now he is being expected to replace the Chaplin role which does have a tracking back dimension to it. Just not sure he quite fits in McKenna's system. |
Every player has defensive responsibility 'defend from the front' |  | | |
