Fair comment but there was a big fault in almost no link up play between midfield and attack, or midfield and the wrong person. Midfield linking up with Benteke and Wilf standing up top. Wasn't working. Ideally you'd have Wilf linking up out of the two. What was with those balls played to Benteke to chase into the corners all about? Poor. Mainly by players less gifted with the ball like Ward because we didn't have a couple of players doing what they can.

The other downside is Cheek isn't a right midfielder and is a waste on the right and he is the natural link up man.

Maybe Wilf needs to switch with Cheek now and again or go wide more often because he was anonymous for most of the match and injury time isn't always going to deliver the hopeful end.
