HaydnNUFC Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Yedlin has served his purpose for us and continues to do so. he’s frustrating as fuck but a good lad. Would personally like him to stay, even if we sign a better RB, as a squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'm not looking back for them, but I would like to retract any posts I may have made six months ago or earlier suggesting 4-2-3-1 was Rafa's system, what he knew and what he played. I reckon other posters will feel the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It's just another example of what makes Rafa a world class manager. Switching to a completely different system and still having the players more organised than the majority of other teams in the league. He's definitely bought players with flexibility in mind, we have 5 first team quality CB's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Clark in a two I reckon would struggle, but as the left centre-back in a back three I think he’s good cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Clark in a two I reckon would struggle, but as the left centre-back in a back three I think he’s good cover. Depends on his defensive partner. He is at least competent alongside Lascelles, it has a negative impact on the team as a whole though, as we end up more dependant upon the defending of the full -backs, Dummett isn't a problem, but Yedlin often let's us down. TBPH though, there should never be a reason to have a defensive 2 of Clark and anybody. Discounting disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely bought players with flexibility in mind, we have 5 first team quality CB's. Dummett can play left centre back too. It'd probably be his strongest position but his distribution would let him down when compared to Schar and Lejeune. They're long range passes are vital in this system and PD doesn't have them in his locker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a backs to the walk away game at Man City maybe, but don’t think he could do that role in this system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Could PD and Clark play the central position? the Lascelles central spot mop up guy so to speak? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The central one seems to be more of the strong, dominant in the air type (like Lascelles or Fernandez) with the outside ones being the ball players. I see Clark more in that description. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems a better last ditch tackler and threat from set pieces only Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Still boggles my mind that a few thought he passed his sell-by date and wanted him out. Dude has everything we could hope for in a manager. Integrity, compassion, obsessive preparation, an OCD level eye for detail, and tactical nous.

Papers tomorrow are saying Carrick is under consideration ... trying to placate the fans with a Geordie when he manages to screw things up. Urgh.
