54 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 He may be limited at times, but Ritchie is by far my favorite player this season, his touch and ball control are excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 i agree, think he'll thrive once/if we add some better players and start getting a system that works a bit better with more movement wide and through the middle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 i agree, think he'll thrive once/if we add some better players and start getting a system that works a bit better with more movement wide and through the middle When Shelvey is playing Richie looks much better, having said that so does the rest of the team!

loki679 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm just kind of sick of inverted wingers. Give me a pacy left footer on the left and vice versa on the right. Beat your man and swing in a cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I am still a fan of the three centre backs with pacey full backs operating as "wing backs". Yedlin fits that role in my opinion for the right but, we have never had a suitable left back / left wing back in my history of supporting this club. Beresford could have been the closest. With that formation we can use Shelvey centrally with another playmaker and a defensive midfielder, then to finish off the formation we need a good #10 to back up whichever striker we go with. I am half convinced that this is the eventual formation / structure that Benitez is aiming for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Bernard was that good going forward that he'd probably get a game for us at left midfield at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm just kind of sick of inverted wingers. Give me a pacy left footer on the left and vice versa on the right. Beat your man and swing in a cross. Same here. I could go for them if we set up a system where the full back overlaps and that provides the width, but it hasn't really happened this season, Ritchie has mostly ended up playing with Anita, and they both tend to cut inside.

DJ_NUFC Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Didier Domi, Bernard, Enrique. Anybody who deputised there under SBR did the job relatively well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Actually yes, Bernard and Enrique were both very good left backs. It shows really that - given I have supported and followed NUFC for close to 45 years (since my first ever match) - that I have to really think about who was a great left back.
