Solitude20 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 2 hours ago, Jack27 said: Fati is more of an inside forward than an inverted winger, and that’s the perfect match for a striker like Isak who drops deep and draws defenders with him. Inside forwards like to cut inside before receiving the ball, and they are more likely to receive the ball around the box. They are more of goal threats than inverted wingers. Inverted wingers are more likely to receive the ball near the touchline, and they cut inside after that in order to cross or pass. The likes of ASM, Raphinha, and Mahrez are inverted wingers, while Fati, Mbappe, Salah, and Rashford are inside forwards. Liverpool had the perfect setup a few years ago with Salah and Mane as the inside forwards and Firmino as the deep forward who created spaces for them and fed them nice passes. That trio was something else. Having said that, Fati has a terrible injury record Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 People complain about our development of players -- we really can't just shove Willock, Longstaff and Joelinton aside for the headline names - those 3 have been pivotal to our tactics and our league position.

Growing up, I loved watching the likes of Zvoni Boban, Boksic, Prosinecki, Jarni, Suker etc. Fingers crossed this lad wants to come to us! Didnt he have that weird transfer to Coventry and was then sold to Real a matter of days/weeks later? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when Real Madrid decided they wanted the player, they successfully bought him from Coventry for £3.4 million with Jarni having made no appearances whatsoever. Some believe this was a joint Coventry City and Real Madrid tactic, as Betis refused to sell him to the Madrid club” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As our schedule becomes more congested when we qualify for Europe, all those players will get their minutes even if we bring in more players. At what point should a good performance prevent us from bringing in new players who potentially could improve us? Imagine if we hadn’t signed Isak or Botman because we were doing great in the second half of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Barca want rid and the player wants to come to play football then there's no reason he wouldn't consider lower wages with performance related bonuses (goals/assists/appearances) and then everyone wins.

The problem is while those 3 have done well and can fill in for eachother when needed, no one can fill in for Bruno adequately. As things stand we’re pretty fucked if he gets injured.

You bring those players in and they compete. If the players we have keep performing at a high level they stay in. If they drop off we have other options. Competition is a good thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
