Think he did try Willock there mate, last season and this season.The reason why Willian was played there was not because ESR was injured. Keep that in mind. Why even try Willock there? He is an attacking midfielder and hardly a creative spark in the mould we need. He had the summer to do that. He spent it chasing Aouar and ended up with nothing. For the interest of the team anyone would have rehabilitated Mesut and use him for the sake of the team. With ESR to come in and provide competition when needed. I am sure we would have picked up more points that we have done this season.
