Remember listening to a snippet of it on one of their podcasts. IIRC he was just buzzing to be able to learn from VvD and playing himself down loads saying he still had loads to improve on before he was a top player.

Moore is Craig Moore no, a shite Aussie defender who we signed on the cheap. Had Parker started discoing in the centre of midfield by then? On paper him and Emre (racist little oik that he was) is a good pairing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allison is way ahead (alongside Pope) in his contributions outside the box as the graphs that have been out up on here show - so it's possible Howe is looking to replicate something similar. EDIT: They're also both right footed, so although CBs playing on their natural side seems smart it's obviously not a deal breaker either. Matip is better at protecting the right hand side when TAA goes on his attacking runs. Pace is not that big of an issue in defenders if your goalkeeper is quick of the line to snuff out danger. Also, VAR gets offside calls correct more than often. So more than pace, the ability to stick to an offside line is more important. Counterpressing managers like Klopp, Howe don't worry about playing a high line with slower defenders thanks to VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Yeah I’m excited by this one. Really think the 27 shirt is made for him too to step in the footsteps of Albert & Woodgate. On that note, if we get Ekitike or Diaby I want them to have the 32 shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t need pacy defenders as such if you’ve got a proper sweeper keeper who’s quick and can read the game well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
