Can someone explain what to make of that? Would that not suggest that the defense playing in front of him are allowing him to be exposed to a lot of high quality shots(high xG shots) ?

Ben Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Henderson and Phillips would be canny replacements for Darlow and Hayden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillingtonMag Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Could be a good shout about maybe more of a forward filling the right side of the front 3 role, Howes mentioned in a few of his press conferences that we need to add more goals from open play so expect who ever comes In to be able to chip in with a few next season more so than Maxi.

Kid Icarus Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Was Dubravka really bad under Bruce or something? I've only known him as a generally very consistent safe pair of hands tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 19 minutes ago, JNK said: I'd go for Antony instead of Raphinha, both are great and antony is younger. Both would be amazing signings for the toons Both would be great, but Raphinha is the better player right now and he's proven for two seasons now that he can do it in this league. If you had to pick one of them for the same fee than Raphinha is for sure the one to go for. That being said, can't see us signing either tbf. Think Raphinha is most probably heading to Spain, unless Leeds are willing to sell to a PL rival and Antony I could see end up with Ten Haag at Man United as they don't have a right winger.

Lazarus Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Does @Ando7 know owt? Also, do we really want an attacking full back bombing past Maxi? We'd be wide open on the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows what’s best for his own lineups, not Billy fuck knuckle on Twitter. Enjoy the ride my friend! I was going to say the same -- this is going to be the most enjoyable and relaxing transfer window of maybe my entire life. January was exciting, but also stressful because of our league position. The second half of the season went better than anyone could have expected, which sets us up really well to sell the project. We have money and we're going to spend some of it. If we don't get a player it will either because we didn't want them or they chose somewhere else. Not because we weren't actually trying. I can't find much to be stressed about honestly.

The thing about signing South Americans is, you need to know when to start and when to stop. Nows the time to start. Then stop once we've maxed out our homegrown quota.

joeyt Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Actually think Dubravka's distribution has improved in recent weeks. Don't get that nervous when the ball goes back to him anymore Edited May 23, 2022 by joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 1 hour ago, JNK said: You're being too generous to Simeone, his game isn't cut for Simeone playstile. Lodi lost a lot of credit with Tite due to the vaccine issue and the Copa America error, but he was benching Alex Sandro and being the most atacking player on the left flank for Brazil when neymar was injured. As I've said, for me, he's one of the best atacking LB's in the world, good skill on the ball, pace and some pinpoint crosses. He was starting for my club when he was only 19 and became the best LB on the brazilian league as a 20year old. Um ... that was my point. He's not going to get too many assists bombing forward playing in a Simeone team, as Simeone is more defensive and structured, and so Lodi didn't really get a chance to shine as an attacking full back with the freedom to get forward as much as possible.

For years, the most I dared hope for was that when it slammed shut Jim White would trap his dick in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummett constitutes the 9th defender in the squad i think, who fills both a full back and centre back spot. Ideal squad composition should be around 9 defenders, 2 RBs (we have) 4 CBs (we have or will have) 2 LBs (we don't have) plus 1/2 versatility players who can fill anywhere along the back.
