Siem de Jong (still alive)


Recommended Posts

Thought he did well, still looks far from his best and what he's capable of but liked seeing him shout, organize and drift into great positions. He's rushing his shots, and his touch in the box was a little hesitant. But like I've said before when he had his debut last season - he's constantly looking to play it first time, 1-2 and quickly which is great.

 

We need to figure out how to make sure Wijnaldum, Perez, and De Jong play together on the pitch to be most deadly in attack.

 

It's hard to get them all in to be honest, I'd like Mitro in there as well ahead of Cisse.

 

                              Anita

                  Sissoko    Winjaldum

                 

          Perez      De Jong     

                          Mitrovic

 

That is imbalanced but not sure formations have to be ewven though they generally are.

 

Without Mitro its quite simple as you could use the threat from Winjaldum, Perez and De Jong to counter the fact you are lacking a proper Number 9.

 

Sissoko  Anita Colback  Winjaldum

              De Jong

                          Perez

I'd drop one of Colback or Anita next week, start him slightly deeper or something. Has to be a way we can fit him, Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Mitrovic & Ayoze as a front five.

I'd say give him one more game starting, both the last 2 we wasn't really gonna have loads of the ball. I think villa will make themselves as hard as they can be break down and he could be key to that in and around the box. Preferably Mitrovic in front of him as well

I think he is quite influential on the pitch which we have been sorely lacking and maybe he was a factor in us not capitulating as usual once we conceded.

 

It is going to take him time to get his performance levels up with him having barely played in 18 months.  He won't be up to playing all the Xmas games anyway so McClaren will have to "rest" him or use him more sparingly.

Would like to see him with Mitro in front and Ayoze instead of Sissoko. Siem's a smart player and i think he would benefit playing with them instead of Cisse and Sissoko.
