Agreed. Had he been in playing in central midfield this season I would have expected us to be top and clear of the pack already. Forrest fans are raving about him, describing him as the best midfielder in the championship. Their local paper said he was outstanding and both Michael Dawson and Lewis Grabban have been singing his praises. None of that is a surprise as he was 8/10 every game us for years.
I've said before I'm a huge Yacob fan but he'd be unsuited to how we are trying to evolve , he doesn't have the pace or passing range needed. He is however excellent at reading a game and sitting in a midfield five which is pretty much how Forest play. Think back to the times numerous managers have tried 4 4 2 with Yacob and how he struggled , 4 3 3 we use right now would kill him.
Massive respect for Claudio but he does limit how you play.
