It's not just about engine, he could run all day I don't think Lawrence has the pace and endurence to really snap into tackles, pressure opponents and go box-to-box the way Andrews or McCarthy can. Think Meyler has this in his game too.Quote:

Clark ideally should be this player. As he's played in defence and midfield for Aston Villa. However, for me, he's often like a player in an under-12s game. The manager may have selected him in defence, but wherever the ball is, he goes after it, particularly if it's up front. I'm giving him time though.Quote:

At this stage we don't know enough about any of these players to say for certain if they can do the job. Maybe thats what makes it interesting !Quote:
