Not physical enough to do anything but the job he has now though. I dont think you can play him deeper regularly at least.

He seems to get into good positions consistently and has been a reliable goal scorer (outside of today).

I dont like how Moyes never takes him off (likely related to him being a big contributor of goals) and he has matches where he is totally bullied out of the game.

I like him, but I think next season we need to be able to rotate him depending on opponents, I think we’d all like to see Grealish in the 10 too. I think with a fully functioning squad we’ll see him rotated more.

Nah he's a lynchpin in the team, has a couple of bad games in him but get the right players either side of him and he's sound

I think he’s a mid table midfielder, as is Garner.

Gana was a top 6 player, but he’s understandably on the wane a bit.

I think Iroegbunam has a few attributes of a top 6 player already.

But that back 4 (with job at rb) is bottom-half at best, so I hope we prioritise trying to rebuild that defence before upgrading anything else, including the striker department.

Agreed.

Out of all the midfielders we have we should be able to find a combinations(s) that improves across a season, taking into account opposition and home/away. That's assuming Gana and McNeil go and we can bring in at least one other with more pace/creativity/goal threat.
