Guest chopey Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I thought his positioning off the ball was fantastic, he never hides and always gives players an option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 That miss though, still not over it. Imagine if we didn't win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Miss aside I thought he was excellent tbh. looks better on the left imo, though the quality wasn't quite there last night whenever he got the ball out wide towards their goal he got his head up instantly and looked to whip it in the box for rondon...when he's on the right he inevitably slows the game down when he cuts back onto his left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a great job in an unfamiliar role, and looked a different player that we have seen so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 It was nice to have fluidity down both flanks and everyone comfortable on the ball. Makes a big difference to how we can go at teams when you have that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 He was very good but thinking about it more, I think maybe that was because Burnley weren't expecting us to set up like that and Lennon and their right back weren't sure about who was to pick him. He was allowed a lot of free space on the left without being picked up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 He needs to add goals to be worth his spot, he works hard and can put in a decent cross, but his lack of pace restricts his threat out wide. If he was banging a few in regularly you could overlook it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Thought he was superb on Monday miss aside. This new 3-5-1-1 (or 5-3-1-1 whatever it is) formation we used particularly out of possession I'd like to see us use more away from home, especially vs the sides we need results against.

Guest Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I like the system. When all are fit we could see Lejeune for Clark, Lascelles will no doubt replace Schar and we can rotate the midfield depending on the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives us a solid defensive base with opportunities to counter attack, and gives us an advantage on set pieces with those CBs on the pitch. An extra bit of creativity and a more clinical striker and we're cooking on gas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all are fit we could see Lejeune for Clark, Lascelles will no doubt replace Schar and we can rotate the midfield depending on the opposition. Clark on the left of that three is better suited imo. Dummett too. Need a bit more pace on the sides of a back 3 imo and a left-footer is a big help. Never liked Lejeune on the turn.

I should have added long term to that tbf, he's obviously worth his spot right now, but he does need to be contributing more goals. I know Murphy is a let down whenever he plays, but there is a player in there potentially. Perhaps he might grow into one. Or alternatively grow a pair and start having a go.

toon25 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Whatever formation that removes the need to play Dummett is good for me, like. Was impressed that we looked like a footballing side on Monday and had players that were not shit scared of the ball. Ritchie is an intelligent player, and it that regard I think he’s a better fit for LWB role in a defensive 5 given the other options we have. Think we’d be far better off with a decent number 10 in that system too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might as well forget about wing play anyway because our wingers are awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At defending Dummett is ok but the modern day full back (especially in the premier league) requires far more going forward and unfortunately he is badly lacking in this area.

Which is great, but we haven't got any modern day full backs in the squad. We also haven't any AMs or a 10 who are PL standard, wingers who can beat a man and we only have one striker of PL standard. It would be a mistake to spend transfer funds on a LB when we are totally inadequate in at least 4 positions. At least Dummett does the basics of his position, which is more than can be said of others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say left back is a very key role mind especially in modern football - I agree we do need all those positions filled still doesn't take away the fact that Dummett should be replaced as soon as possible also.
