Against tough teams away from home with creative players in the middle when we are expected to be on the back foot I think it's certain Tomlin won't start. He wants the legs of Gunnar, Ralls and Loic and I think that's the 3 we will see Saturday
Against teams where we are expected to dictate and need that magic to break down defenders he will start those games, you could see him always looking for that killer pass, little touches and he's going to have games where everything comes off and we blow teams away, the man is class and he fits in naturally in that number 10 position simply because he has Ralls and Gunnar behind him doing all the legwork
I think we have the perfect midfield for what you need in the championship and I think Tomlin will be vital to us this year in games last year we may have drawn or struggled to break teams down

Having said all that, when he did manage to get on the ball you could see there was a touch of class about his play and a player we'd need in a tight game to make the break through.
Its very early doors yet and that was the first time I have seen him play for the city so this is just a first impression of him. I'm sure he'll improve as the season goes on and will make some great contributions in games.
