alexf Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Anyone else really curious as to how the Matt Targett in the deep Bruno midfield role experiment would have turned out. ? Was the most unexpected performance looking at the line up but it just proves why he is levels above the likes of Ten Hag. He makes perceived shit players look good and functional.

Nobody Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Easiest sub to make when Targett has to come off is to bring on Burn and have Hall play midfield (might have been the plan anyway tbh, even though in the first minute Hall was LB). Puts Miggy on instead who goes on and score, plays a big part in the second goal and could have got an assist for Wilson. Such brilliant management from Eddie there, when 2 minutes into the game he had to change the game plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I simply hope we can see more of Livra and Hall in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett was at LB and Hall was in midfield for what it’s worth. The change brought on Miggy at LM and moved Hall back.

Assuming they would have swapped around quite a bit anyways. Miggy at LM worked really well as we simply overloaded them with Joe W, Hall and Miggy down that side.

Aye, was great to see how there was always an extra man down our left hand side. Obviously Howe knows about Ritchies limitations, so preferred us attacking as far away from him as possible too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GideonShandy Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Absolutely love the guy. Tactical genius. Extraordinary work ethic. Superb man-management. Handles press conferences with class, modesty, intelligence and a nice sense of humour. Inspires confidence all round. A perfect match for the club. We're lucky to have him (and he's lucky to have us.) Hope he has a tenure comparable to Wenger and Ferguson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Just been nice seeing players like Krafth, Ritchie and Dummett have "their moment" even though domestic cup games are probably all they'll see for us. Might suit us playing the bigger clubs with these line-ups where we're starting the games with a more solid system, these players are stepping up above their normal level and the opposition are thinking they'll piss it, rather than someone like Everton or West Ham who'd take it as a sign to go all out at us as it's a chance to knock us out.

Lotus Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Think it was @Wullie who pointed out once that sometimes a manger just suits a club at a certain time. Think the example was Brendan Rodgers. I know he gets flack but he’s had some good teams and his Swansea weren’t bad at all considering the budget. His previous spell was a bit of a car crash at Reading. He obviously went on to some very very good teams after Swansea. EH did exceptionally well at Bournemouth but not so much at Burnley. It would be hard to predict how well he end up doing here. As much as it might him……it could also be the present incarnation of the club. The owners and the new ethos, the fan’s enthusiasm post takeover. Could just be a great match. Long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 So in one game he's found extra cover at CB (Krafth) an option in Brunos position (Joelinton) and someone who can do a decent job up front (Gordon). Fully expecting Richie to go in goal or some shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn davies Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 The point of having a lack of options placed him in a situ where he had to gamble and it proved to him that he hasn't anything to worry about in not picking the same bods as he has week in week out.

Eddie said in his post match that they where using the game as an experiment to see if Targett could play as a DM, so that if needed he could play the position in the Premier League if utterly desperate.

He literally came up from LB to make that challenge that injured him did he not? Hall has precedent playing LM too, and the pre-match lineups that were shown all had Targett at LB and Hall in midfield.
