I really think when you leave as big gaps as our fullback’s do you need to put the lone DM system in the bin. Too much ground for our DM to cover and the CB’s are left so exposed on the counter and during transition/quick turnovers. We need a top DM to play alongside Bissouma/Bentancur in a 2
Let’s say we do what is being suggested by ITK and we sign Werner plus another top winger (probably a LW).. In that case he’s going to be behind Werner, Solomon and a new signing for LW off the bat. Then you’ve got the fact that if Richy is fit no sane manager would play Gil over Son at LW...
He’s gonna be another player we’ve spent big money on that no one wants on a permanent deal, so we’ll have to loan him out until his contract expires. Truly an absolutely atrocious signing for the money and assets (Lamela) outlaid.
Yeah I really don’t think the calls for a LCB that can cover LB make any sense considering the demands of the inverted fullback position. I don’t think that player exists and if they do they’ll be of a quality which won’t make them coming here to be a backup an option. Davies is an ideal hybrid...
Everything you said I agree with but on top of that I always feel like he adds a real extra level of control and composure to the midfield. It feels like the more often he is on the ball the less you worry about us losing a grip on the midfield, it’s quite a unique ability and I definitely don’t...
Was coming in here to say this. As well as Kulusevski does in hold up and team play he is so so predictable and really often kills the flow of attacking moves with his constant cutting inside his man. Johnson has become both way less predictable with his play and is really showing excellent end...
Way bigger threat on the left. As people have said he can go both ways on that flank and he has the ability and pace to do so. He’s a very clever player on top of his obvious pace and when you give a player like that multiple options they are more likely to pull something off and it makes them...
Konsa and Branthwaite are the standout options for me. Would be happy with either but I think Konsa’s composure on the ball next to Stones would be nice. Branthwaite would offer a threat on set pieces though which we probably lack too.
Konsa definitely deserves a call up, he’s been excellent for Villa for ages. I’d have him straight in the 11 next to Stones ahead of anyone right now, he’s quality
Not the best watch so far this. I get the plan of playing out of the back with composure but when the opponent aren’t pressing you and therefore aren’t leaving the bigger gaps to play through you really have to move the ball a lot quicker than this
Wouldn’t pay any attention dude. I appreciate when you post the fixtures in here and I’m sure a lot of other people do too. Yeah they are available elsewhere but i certainly like to have the little reminder of what’s occurring each weekend!
He’s technically great and I’ve thought from the age of 17 he was a sure thing to make it as a PL player, same as I have with Devine. But he’s not good enough for us in exactly the same way Winks isn’t. I don’t think he’s good enough to handle the physicality of the PL and come out the other...
