I read it, but again, you want your best player in his best role. The rest can get shoehorned. You don't put Jude in a holding midfield role to make room for Grealish or Maddison or even Foden. They're not "elite" at the same level as Jude.

look, mate, we could go back and forth with this, ulitimately i dont know what the fuck im talking about. i just watch. i think the case for jb as a 6 to "raise the celing, not the floor" is compeling. and england having won fuck all despite having superstars (many who like to be in that 10 area)/
Out of possession, he does his work, tracking back and pressing, but he should be the least handcuffed of the 3, so when you get possession back, he's key to the attacking phase
i totally agree. a striker who likes the channels and threatens the space in behind could open the space for jude in that 10 area. maybe someone like watkins
Like I said, I think I'm in agreement w the author, he's part of a 3 w Rice and (for now) Wharton, where Jude has the 'free-er' role. Wharton is for sure a holder and recycler, and Rice has the destroyer/box2box mentality and ability. So Jude can be the presser/attacker of the trio.
