Increasingly interested in our wide players being direct, pacey goal threats.

 

If you want to really build the team around Isak you give him free reign to come deep, operating almost like a false nine with the wide men attacking the space that he creates by pulling CBs away from.

Yeah makes sense! 

 

Do you not see a role for the likes of a MGW / Maddison player for us then? 

 

Not saying I do or don't, just an interesting topic

I mean there's a fair chance Eddie will want a wide option who offers something different so MGW could absolutely be an option to play RW.

 

If not, I do get the feeling that Eddie really loves the flat three in midfield for how effective it is in the high press.

 

Ideally we'd have someone at LCM who can offer what MGW or Maddison do in the final third while still having the work rate and fitness levels to play CM for us.

 

From what I've seen of MGW he looks like he'd be good enough in terms of work rate to play CM for us, but I couldn't say for sure.
