He's not a huge threat from outside of the box in open play - he never actually seems to want to shoot. He will have more space deeper and won't be so vulnerable if he's got Shinnie with him. Knight's energy allows us to transition into different shapes better as he has the fitness to get up and down the pitch depending on instructions. Having him deeper at the expense of Rooney would slow down how we go from defence to attack much more. Rooney has only played well for us in a deeper role. Personally, like you've suggested, I think the way to get the best out of is have him deeper where he can pick out passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pished me off within a minute with selective editing of games and interviews. Radio Derby just as bad. All Chris Coles is talking about is whether Cocu's job is on the line. Steele keeps trying to talk about the football, but Coles keeps bringing it right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I hope the opposition are having as much trouble as me in guessing which way we'll set up. Hopefully we can seamlessly interchange it during the game and bamboozle 'em. We're due a win, tonight's the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree he has played some decent stuff from deep but I’m afraid he is prone to giving it away in very dangerous positions when played there and his lack of legs ties us formation wise when he’s played deep as he needs a workhorse covering him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I like the look of this assuming Shinnie is tidying up at the back. Rooney and knight further up ( I don’t like Rooney deep ) let’s get in to them. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times he's been guilty of gifting possession has been when he's looked knackered, hopefully won't be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
