    Think he's been great as a midfielder tbh. just think we're different side with Willock on that LCM spot. 

     

    Yeah, I would say one of the main improvements has been in our build up play and possession.

     

    Joelinton can sometimes get caught on the ball in the centre and be a bit loose with his passing amidst the congestion in there. Willock is much tighter in those spaces having coming through at Arsenal and being used to that more intricate play.

     

    Roaming from out wide Joelinton ends up facing play more often, and can also afford more time on the ball as he has more space.

    Now we've pushed Joelinton further forward and we are actually playing someone with more ability on the right the team just functions far better.

     

    I think once Tonali comes back into the team after these adjustments, he is going to look far more effective.

    Looks far, far better in his proper position on the wing - especially with Willock behind him.  I hope we never see him in midfield again - but I'd start him every week on the wing.

     

    I genuinely don't see how we can move him back in there. He's so much more dangerous roaming from those wide positions.

     

    We're really going to have to figure this thing out, because it will have an effect on what we do in the market as a priority.

     

    Needs a run on that right side to see if it's a viable longer term role.

    Unbelievable athlete.

     

    Now that right side is functioning well enough to allow him to overlap, I think the delivery will come.

     

    Had a couple of decent crosses today where no one was there to attack them. I'm sure we'll see further improvement.

    Ipswich win is wild. Spurs man.

     

    It's a stinker for Spurs, especially at home, however anytime I watch Ipswich they look pretty decent. Wasn't completely shocked at the result.

    Huge, not just the result but the performance.

     

    We've found something with Joelinton back playing in a wide position, allowing the wide CM to overlap. It's linking the midfield and attack and has got Murphy out of the team.

     

    We're seeing Bruno in an advanced position, we saw the second half even before Tonali came on he had Longstaff sitting and Bruno further up.

     

    Buzzing like!! :aww:

     

    The tactical tweaks have been on point and the team looks night and day different from how we looked early on this season. So much more balanced and threatening.

     

    Just keep praying the off the field stuff has all settled down and common ground has been found. 

     

    It's the only thing that can hold us back going forward.

    Looked more than good enough at RW, his versatility is such an advantage. I'm certain he'll be playing CB for us at some point.

     

    He's just so intelligent in his play.

     

    He tucks in and finds spaces and makes things easier for everyone around him.

     

    Ends up giving us an extra man centrally at times, but getting wide at the right times too. Played off of Tino's overlapping runs well too, and even played in Isak at times.

     

    Too good.
