Lotus Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Great cross field pass to Murphy. Think he’s probably a better passer of the ball than we see most of the time because as a team we tend towards progressive running over progressive passing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids itching to play regularly Is there a link to his full comments? Saw a brief clip on here earlier but it didn't seem like much of anything, and I don't remember anything significant from when I saw it live. Obviously, he's wanting to get his career back on track because it's been badly derailed, and I think there's a good chance he does leave his summer partly for contractual reasons, but he didn't seem arsey or anything.

Kids itching to play regularly But he hasn't been fit and when he has come in he's been generally poor. That's not Eddie's fault and not through lack of opportunities. You can't throw your toys out the pram after your first semi decent performance for awhile (not that I think he has, I think those quotes were talking about frustration with himself not the manager) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 If (and it's a huge IF) he can stay fit, I'd play him alongside Bruno and Tonali. I think those 3 together work better than the other options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Still not convinced he's tidy enough to be a CM without giving the ball away a lot, but I guess you could say the same thing about Joelinton. Rooting for him though, hope he can find a role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooting for him though, hope he can find a role. Willock is good enough for depth without ever being able to be first choice. If he's happy with that, he's a good option to keep (injuries notwithstanding). If Joelinton is sold this or next summer, a new purple CM would make us fearsome. Not sure whether an enforcer type (to give us power) or a passer/creative type or an all-rounder like Big Joe however. A DM type like a Kante could be useful because Bruno RCM and Tonali LCM could also be very strong indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I’d like a left-footed technical CM with nice movement and energy. Can’t think of an example, someone like Bergvall but with more physicality and shithousery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 When Willock has played on a regular basis he doesn’t look out of place at all, the problem for him and others is that when they are given bit part roles, usually after a period of injury, they look miles off the pace. Hopefully we get European football and that will allow us to rotate and give the squad adequate game time, but as much as Willock looks like he needs games to get up to speed, you have Joelinton who looked like he could do with a rest, playing every week until injury. We need to get the balance right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Let him go Fulham with all of his ex Arsenal pals. £15m-£20m should do the trick. He's in bad form but he's still a handy player. Probably just needs a change of surroundings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same way some people think we would get 15 for longstaff. Probably get 15 for the 2 of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
