Vurnon Anita has only been used at full-back since signing for Leeds United in the summer.
The answer to Leeds United’s midfield problems may be staring them directly in the face.
Leeds have looked weak in the middle on their travels recently, and have now lost their last three away games in succession.
Eunan O’Kane, Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich have all been called into question in recent weeks – with Leeds fans concerned about the lack of physicality in their team.
There have been calls for Ronaldo Vieira to be recalled, but Vurnon Anita is another option for Leeds to use as a defensive shield.
Anita is highly versatile, and has been used at full-back since signing for Leeds so far, but the Dutchman is a midfielder with Premier League experience.
Anita is more than adept at playing a role in front of the defence, and his energy could be key for Leeds in future weeks.
The Whites have still made a positive start to the campaign, but it is clear that Thomas Christiansen needs to tweak his tactics, if Leeds are to build on their current position in the Championship table.
And giving Anita a run of games in midfield could be the vital change which could put Leeds on another winning run.
