AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I’m wavering on it TBH. I think when he have more possession we can probably allow Bruno to be the deeper player and have someone else more creative ahead of him. But then I guess there’ll be games against good teams where we might need extra protection as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I'd rather have a top quality DM and give Bruno more license - and focus on more pace and goals out wide. That's generally because as much as Iove #10s - I think it would give us the better chance of immediate progression up this particular league.

Lack of form or lack of effort? As a comparison,Almiron always puts a shift in,as does Fraser. Sorry,to go to the next step,every player will need to give 100%. I think that's harsh on the lad. The game did seem to pass him by on occasions, but you could see he was still alert. I'm prepared to think it was just him acclimatising to the new set-up. Thought he was excellent towards the end.

It says that the initial prices we've been quoted are inflated. It's not news, it's just what happens. He's making assumptions based on what happens. He's a narcissist cunt who can't go on holiday without looking forward to checking his phone the minute the plane lands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Most top teams build in a 3-2-5 formation now. It's the best way to attack a back four, because there are five channels that you can occupy. You can do it from a 4-3-3 (Liverpool with very high full backs), 4-2-3-1 (Man City, Arsenal with one full back advanced and the other making a back 3) or a back three with wing backs (Chelsea). If we're after Lodi (another attacking full back), it makes me think we're more likely to do it the Liverpool way with two very advanced full backs making up a front 5 alongside the front three, with a defensive midfielder dropping in to make a back 3 and a pivot ahead of them. It might look something like: It would also be pretty great for defending in a 4-4-2, which again is the defensive shape a lot of the top teams are using right now if they don't immediately win the ball back: So I'm thinking the three main priorities here are left back (Lodi), a DM (I don't think Bruno is particularly suited to the role in the above system. He likes to press) and a goalscoring right winger. We also need an understudy to Wilson. Not sure Paqueta fits in this hypothetical scenario really. Unless you were going to play him as a false 9 or something. Edited May 27, 2022 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 So we're trusting the process which will leave us with Wood up top again, are we? Still amazed people don't understand how the market works, even if we bid the same amount as Villa, Sevilla might have declined... Fact is however, we need more than what we most likely are able to fill with the rumoured cash available, unless they get a Saudi club to buy someone for inflated prices!

ponsaelius Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Diaby Phillips/Bissouma Lodi/Targett CF Henderson Botman Would fill most of our needs. Would probably cost 150-175 million though - unless you can get some on loan-to-buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
