Guest HTT II Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 49 minutes ago, KaKa said: I think tackling is sometimes absolutely necessary, as you can sometimes be caught out of position or need to cover for someone else that has been, and you need to go to ground. However, I think there is an art to tackling, and an under control tackle can help you win possession a lot more often, which is really the priority for me. Just not a fan of flying in recklessly. I understand that in the prem it has typically been seen as a way to galvanise the crowd and player, but just never been a fan of that kind of approach. Agreed, flying in recklessly ala Shelvey is never an option or should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name a defender who never tackled? woodgate barely had to make a tackle he was good positionally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I think Bruno is coming in on Saturday. I think he might move Joelinton to Fraser position and Fraser is benched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I don’t see it tbh. Joelinton’s recent position is too important in the system. Nobody else would be able to cover ASM like that. Would move Willock out wide before I’d move Jo out there but I think Fraser will play. Bit hard to get Bruno in the team atm. He definitely needs more than just injury time though.

sixx Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 A defining feature of a good manager is the ability to make seemingly mediocre players play at their highest potential of ability. We saw it regularly with Benítez and so so often with SAF. Looking back he somehow managed to win the league routinely at a canter with players like O'Shea, Fortune, Cleverley and Anderson often playing key roles. Has to be handed to Howe, this transformation is amazing and is a testament to his ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a massive performance from him today against that West Ham midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Class again. Just his usual 8/10 with the odd 9 every other week. He has set the bar so high since moving into midfield! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 It's getting to the point where it's an actual shock when he loses a 50/50 or gives away possession cheaply. Think it's safe to say this isn't a purple patch, he's just very good in the role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I am still in disbelief at his performances, like. After watching him absolutely stink the place up for the preceding what.. 80, 90 games? He now looks like a superstar It's actually funny.

Tiresias Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Bizarre he seems to good at it. There was a moment where he just blocked off a counter attack by a bit of phsyical pressure preventing the layoff and they had to pass back at the end, the subtle stuff you would think would come from playing defensive mid long term Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Naglesmann wasn’t lying when he said Joelinton is a machine. Playing like a T-1000 in midfield. Edited February 19, 2022 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
