There’s no way we can rely on Tanganga. He’s made of glass.
Who are these "youth players" who are ready to step into a PL side?
Dier and Tanganga are not good enough, and it is too risky to use a youth player to be the 3rd choice of CB
That is a bad idea. That's Dier in if the first 2 are injured or suspended.
Ange needs CBs who can play from the back, be comfortable with the ball in possession against the press and be able to pass the ball forward. Dier and Tanganga can't do it plus Dier lacks agility for high line. Romero and Tapsoba won't be able to start every game with injuries/suspensions and we will drop valuable points if we don't get proper backups. It's important to buy players that fit the system that Ange is trying to implement. It's the new way and now GK and CBs need to be good at passing (inverted FBs or WBs too). Dier or Tanganga randomly doing long balls forward would break the system.
Because we already know 2 out of those 4 aren't good enough.
With the new offside rules, no team should be playing a high line. It’s suicidal.
eh?
It should also make it easier to pass the ball to forwards when you win the ball high up the pitch, more shots for Kane, Son, Deki etc.
Yeah the Wenger thing looks like too much of an overcorrection to me. Could fundamentally change the game for the worse and mean teams sit a lot deeper since the offside trap will be all but dead as a concept. Fast players would become borderline unplayable vs a high line.That offside rule is awful. Got to feel for defenders if it's implemented. Not a hope.
Thought they could have just changed it to feet position to stop the stupid leaning/shoulder offsides etc...
