But it's about the attributes they brought to the side.
King was/is class and will drag defenders away, he also favours hanging out wide again pulling defenders away, and pushing the back 4 backwards. This then created the space of sheffers to flourish. Gunnar, whether a world beater or not gave us physicality, but was also willing to burst forward with or without the ball, often past sheffers an the strikers, and I bet if you analysed prozone his average touches of the ball were 10-15 yards higher up the pitch than bigi and Thomas. This meant that clingan ha more room at the base of the diamond, and two players who made forward runs creating good passing opportunities. This also enables bell to float in the pocket of space sheffers and gunnar left behind and better options to pass to when he was on the ball. This meant we were more on the front foot which then allowed the back 4 to push up.
Sheffers had a good game against reading because as ineffectual as Cody was his presence pushed there back four back, creating the space for him.
