Shak Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Long term if we're going with a 4-4-2 I think how best role would be as a CM who has license to get forward. Would move us to sign a quality ball winner to play in there with him. A good version of Tiote, basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't seemed at home at centre mid at all so far, think there isn't enough space in the middle for him to show his best attributes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 He's only been in the league for seven games, think he'll get more comfortable in that spot. Don't think he's looked great as a #10 either and if we're gonna have Perez and Mitro up top I'd prefer us to go with a leftie on the left and a right footed player on the right, give Mitro some service. Key would be getting a suitable partner in CM, someone who can do the majority of the ball winning and protect the back four. Neither Anita nor Colback are that player. Tiote is the only one who fits the bill, sadly for us though I think he's wrecked. Would be curious to see this though. Sissoko Wij Tiote Thauvin Perez Mitrovic A lot of strength and speed in that midfield, if somehow the Tiote of his first year came back it'd be a cracking front six.

He's got a lot of flair and vision, but isn't the most imposing midfielder so definitely needs someone who provides the muscle alongside him if he's going to be played as a central midfielder. Neither Colback or Anita are built for that, Tiote was, and if he's not part of the future plans, then there's another massive gap in the spine of the squad. Quelle surprise.

Kanji Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Want to see him on the ball more in the 2nd half of these matches, he's clearly one of our best players and his mentality is top notch. Feel for the fella, fucking fell for this shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chicken little Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 so where he has played all of his career bar an early stint on the wing, and where he would still be playing if he hadn't joined the graveyard of footballers' careers that is nufc?

Guest chicken little Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 putting aside fm style notation and whether or not he played some games deeper for psv last season, he has played the majority of his football in a more attacking role than we're giving him right now.

Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I've seen him play right CM in a 433. His role was more of an attacking one though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 For us he looks better on the left coming inside to get involved in the space Mitrovic and Perez provide by forcing the opponents back. Needs an energetic left back to overlap though so would only work with Haidara and Mbabu as Dummett couldn't get up and down enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
