O'Neill urges against 'pigeonholing' Graham
O'Neill has spoken publicly about the need to avoid limiting Graham to a narrow tactical role, emphasising the value of versatility.

For followers of the team, this hints at potential tactical variability — lineups and in-game positioning for Graham may be less predictable than a rigid role would suggest. It can also reflect a manager managing expectations around a player whose best position remains a talking point.
