There's a part of me hopes Barron leaves in January in order to prevent you from continually suggesting playing him alongside Clarkson. In fact, I think you're lineup ideas should be subject to a restraining order.
You could quite easily have thrown those 11 players into a 4-2-3-1 too, albeit with McGrath in an unfamiliar position, but you have to take it too far.
No doubting that. But he was also very average a lot of the time. He also never tested himself abroad (non uk) which kinda proves your point of playing within a comfort zone. Lewis is above that already. Don’t think you’ll ever convince me he was a great player
