Super Duper Branko Strupar

They have absolutely nothing in midfield. As long as we're switched on to any runs down the sides and balls in, we should be keeping a clean sheet.

So direct.

I think it was more likely more than just Tonali, but the entire 3. It's not just a change for Tonali, it's a change for all 3. And everyone else tbf. Including playing out from the back, the balls to the full backs, the runs of the wingers, the balls Isak expects. I've no doubt at all this change was always the plan, though I do know Howe hates suggesting he has midfielders set in certain positions to make it easy for the opposition. It's not just been integrating Tonali, it's been integrating the entire team in to the new system. It's not just a case of a different player in a position someone else had, that role has changed with the different attributes Tonali has. Would I have liked to see us like this quicker? Yes. Do I think it's as easy as just plopping him in there and it working out this well? Absolutely fucking not. Credit to Howe for us working this well pretty much as soon as the change has been made. Most teams make the change before the systems is working. Howe doesn't do that and I see the argument and the benefits. Confidence from the off, rather than the risk of trying to gain it game by game and maybe it not working and it impacting the confidence or players view of the change. He's smarter than us all.

Deft as fuck.

Boom.

Yes, it's someone else's fault.

Came in here to tag you

The position he's played so well in the past few games. Doesnt have the physical profile to do it, he's just an up and down athlete. Apparently.

Bruno's ball winning and eagerness that high up and Tonali's reading of the game and ability to play at a slower speed to everyone else is exactly what we need. Just a shame Tonali doesnt have the profile to play that position.

Retiring at the end of the season.

Draw goes live on YT, immediately goes to ads.
