Greg Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Really think he should start instead of Perez as he simply gives the ball away in promising positions constantly ,does Rafa not trust him ? Like 4 posts up where Rafa says he’s not a number 10? Perez isn't a number 10 either, not does he play that role in the current setup. So its a moot point. Has Rafa said Perez isn't a number 10? Perez had a good run back end of last season been awful this season most of the time and Rafa has played players out of position too and have a look at the Perez thread for others thoughts on said subject I was sort of agreeing with you tbh. Just asking Greg whether Rafa's mentioned Perez not being a number 10, because if he's said that, there's no reason Muto can't replace Perez. Not that I'm aware of and I agree, I think Muto could do a job there. It's not a conventional playmaker number 10 in our set up (we can't afford one).

Newcastle Fan Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 He's not a number 10 and Perez is not a number 10 and nobody is a number 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Number 10 isn't a necessary position to have on your team anyway. Our best teams in the last decade have always been 433. Anyway - I liked him when he came on today. He offered an outlet, but we just play far far too deep for any attacking player to make an impact.

Toon No9 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 He's not a number 10 and Perez is not a number 10 and nobody is a number 10. Diame is our no 10. Just look at the back of his shirt...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Number 10 isn't a necessary position to have on your team anyway. Our best teams in the last decade have always been 433. Anyway - I liked him when he came on today. He offered an outlet, but we just play far far too deep for any attacking player to make an impact. It is if you play a formation like ours, especially when Rafa wont change it. Not if your wide players are doing the business, which they aren't. Last season we had Kenedy tearing it up on one side, if we had more pace and quality on both wings - and up front for that matter - I doubt we'd be talking about shirt numbers so much.

Toonjam88 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 He is a very intelligent bloke so will listen to Rafa and take things on board and make changes so that has to be a big plus.
