In years gone by, midfielders did so much more running than forwards or defenders. With the way the game is played nowadays, has that gap narrowed? At a guess, I think it has. The type of metres you now have to cover as a mid probably allows for more players to have a stint on ball. I am of the view that Chad was initially traded to be a forward. But I reckon the club changed half way through this season and may now see him more as an on baller moving forward, still rotating up forward on occasion, but more use around the middle.
I recall him saying prior to the season start that he had dropped 8 or so kgs. And yet people are adamant he was unfit. And from afar, I think he may have dropped a further 3-5 kgs since mid season.
I reckon he is seen as a midfielder first and foremost now
