Saying Bamford could play the Klich role...Clearly not but for reasons I couldn't go into
Not what I meant . We dont have someone to replace Klich, but Klich tends to play as a second Pablo, KP or whover else needs support on the pitch.
So instead play without him and have a true 10 in Bamford or Roberts and have everyone else pick up the slack. It is what Leeds are good at, switching position according to the situation.
And it might also filll that massive hole we have in central midfield when we attack.

Slight misunderstanding but it'd be in place of Pablo not Klich for me, Phillips job is to sit deep in front of the defence and make up a 3 when the wing backs advance. That leaves Klich to do all the dirty work in centre midfield and take him out and you've lost the midfield battle. Hernandez nor Bamford could do that job for obvious reasons..

I get what you mean, I was just musing what possibilities there are without Klich in the side. I wonder what other playing options there are.
Last time he didn’t play the as QPR away in the cup last season when Lewis Baker took his place.
