54 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Given the lack of a rumours about about a CDM, and us aggressively spending £30m+ on 2 CB's, I wonder is Howe is planning on us pivoting to a 3 at the back system, something like: Botman Schar Carlos Trippier Tagliefico Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Wonder if it's some sort of pressure tactic to try and make the clubs more eager to accept a bid in case the other one does first. Edited January 7, 2022 by kisearch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's irrelevant anyway because they do speak the same language apparently but centre half is all about partnerships and you need to be able to communicate with your partner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I won't give a fuck what language they speak when Carlos ploughs through the back of Che Adams and Botman scores a 90th minute winner and celebrates by sticking the Vs up at Hassenhutl.

gazza ladra Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Regarding going to a back three... I read somewhere that Howe spent some timre watching Athletico Madrid. Quote Over the past year, his focus has shifted towards Spain. At Atletico Madrid, he observed Diego Simeone closely. Although the Argentinian’s preferred style of play is diametrically opposed to Howe’s, the Newcastle head coach is said to have been fascinated by Simeone’s ability to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid, despite having comparatively meagre resources. Simeone’s leadership and the collective spirit of his sides also appeal to Howe, who believes togetherness is crucial towards his own team’s success. Steal his wingback and lift his system?

Rich Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Think it’s a toss up between 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 at the moment, and it’ll depend on business done what we settle into. Would delighted with either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
