That was the problem of inheriting the number 10 shirt, the younger PlayStation generation sees it as a status, almost the wearer has to be the best player in the team.
Big pressure on the lad and there shouldn't be. I'm hoping for a decent season but I don't see it happening without JG, I'd love to be wrong of course but.....
I agree with @JW1985 Bailey is somewhat flying under the radar with much less pressure on him to succeed. I think he can be a good foil to take pressure off Emi2.
The biggest issue I see is Dean probably doesnt know his best team. Probably the only reason we may not buy a CM is long term Emi2 is probably going to be asked to play as a 10 or slightly deeper. And with Ings, Watkin, Bert, Bailey all vying for the front 3 its hard to see how Emi2 fits into a front 3 with those names when centrally we look weak.
