Les is right. The big problem this season, as it was last season when teams figured us out, is the inability to control the midfield. What we should have done was pursue a midfielder who could do this in the summer. I don’t think keeping Butterfield would have made much difference in this regard. Sure, his passing ability to create more chances, but he wasn’t flawless. The struggles we have seen lately would not be solved with a magic Butterfield bullet.
