At least Soumare is a younger guy that's still coming up.
Gueye already excelled in the premier league and earned a move to PSG.
Not at all surprised he didn't want to come. Really weird move for us to make IMO.
-
Assuming the Euros go ahead at some point and based on the current England forwards in the squad, I think Abraham is likely to lose out, in any case pick two from these four ...
Abraham, Calvert-Lewin, Bamford and Wilson.
-
Vinicius comes on. Was surprised he didn't start. Think he has looked quality whenever I've seen him.
-
38 points.
Weeeeeee. On my way down to the lads who've still got Dubravka in nets and Jimenez as Captain.
38 is a canny score this week.
Exactly
I'm too ashamed to even mention my total this week on here

So Choudury or Gueye would replace one of our midfielders that play in front of the defensive midfield but behind the attacking midfield ?
Makes no sense because they are both more in the mould of Hayden and are more suited to the defensive midfielder role.
We should be looking for midfielders that can replace Shelvey and Hendrick in the roles they played on Saturday IMO.
If he’s going with ASM, Almiron, Fraser & Wilson with Lewis an attacking full-back, there’s a bit of logic to two sitting midfielders. Schar can still bring it out from CB with Hayden dropping in to cover when he does.
Yeah, that's true. If we're eventually going to change to more of a 4-2-3-1 then it would make more sense for sure.

Spurs just don't use the ball well enough in possession and only ever really look threatening on the counter attack.

Choudhury really should just be a backup for Hayden as we don't really have an alternate to Hayden if he should be out. They offer the same kind of things really.

Seen that someone with sense is now running things and so wants to stay.

In which case maybe Jones was a Carr suggestion? Can't see where else it could have come from since I don't believe for one minute Bruce was on board with it.
Someone on here said Ashley had started turning to Carr again for advice and Carr indeed suggested Graeme Jones.

Offside
Fucking ridiculous

;D That is incredible!

It'll be interesting to see how this develops for sure.
We may even at some point see Fraser where you have Hendrick and then Joelinton in the hole with ASM and Wilson upfront.
Shelvey and Hendrick got forward a fair bit today and were okay, replacing them with Almiron and Fraser in those spots would be even more effective. Both attacking wise and even defensively as they are both more mobile and we are pressing from the front now.
Sneaking Big Joe on the pitch, you rascal.
Think he has played some fantastic through balls in his time here. Might do well in there with a bunch of players getting forward around him and under a manager with a clue.
Cool with any of the setups proposed though, think any would work well. Just wish Bruce was out of the picture completely!
-
Fair point. Just thought with how much of the ball Almiron saw today, that's probably where we'd want ASM to be long-term so he can impact games and draw in opponents.
Fraser was decent when he got the ball, but he seemed the least involved from open play. (Just checked the stats and he only had 29 touches, including set pieces, though I appreciate he went off after 67 minutes. Quick mafs says that would've been 39 if he'd played the full game. Maxi only managed 6 touches in 28 minutes in that role thereafter.)

Love it ... switch ASM and Fraser and we're good to go.
Got to have ASM as the one drifting into wide areas and terrorizing defenders with his dribbling.
-
Really glad he got that extension last year. Only just 26 years old too. Really like him and no matter the nonsense going on around the club he just keeps getting better.
-
Secondly, Graeme Jones keeps the use of the striker who tends to drift wide more often,
Wilson today?
Yeah and Fraser too. Both were upfront with the freedom to drift into the channels. Like his Luton tactic below.
-
Be interesting to see if the new manager can get a tune out of Joelinton. He might actually find a role and position that suits him. He’s the forgotten £40m man at the moment
The role Miggy was in today might suit him.
Could see him as one of the strikers pulling into the wide areas he tends to prefer.
Think Miggy's movement and ability to thread a ball will make that central role his. He was awesome there today.
-
Compare and contrast in that gif and our previous gamesWe have t played that formation before have we?
No we haven't. Not since Keegan's version with Owen playing behind Viduka and Martins
It's blatantly something Jones has identified as suiting the players we have, and why he was giving so much instruction, while the Steves were all looking dumbfounded
:lol:Graeme, identifying something not going right - steps up to touchline and gestures, shouting instructions with meaning behind them
Bruce, identifying something not going right - sulks with hands in pocket, begins mentally prepping for sheepishly acknowledging in post-match interview that our sleeves weren't rolled up enough.
It's ridiculous
Fuming at the thought of Bruce getting any kind of credit for any of this
-
Imagine Bruce digesting this
“ let’s just play “
No chance
Wilsons role pulling out wide also reminded me of a similar thing Martinez did with Lukaku at Everton. Jones would have been there at the time too.
All making a lot of sense now.

Oh boy ... it's all coming out now

So it turns out he almost exclusively played a 4-3-1-2 formation at Luton. Checkout the tactic column on the far right below for his time at Luton.
The exact formation we played today. which Bruce had not used at all at Newcastle. Bruce looks to have been demoted

Good shout with Antonio. Think he'll be in with a shout too as he's so versatile.
I should have added Danny Ings to the original list too. England are going to end up with some really decent options upfront.
