He wouldn’t be doing Almiron work as he isn’t that kind of player, I know where you’re going with this but it isn’t relevant, people don’t expect Isak to play as a winger, I don’t think it’s ever been suggested.

Hard to see us bringing anyone in (except maybe a centre mid) unless we can move a couple of players on. I would stand on the top of the sheet as if we stand on the bottom part they won’t be able to see the signatures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 21 minutes ago, KaKa said: Usually when a wide forward that you want high up the pitch is in that wide right position, you'd have the RCM cover the full back and the wide forward drop into a slightly more central area to be ready and available to break forward with the ball. Similar to what we did against Man City with Joelinton and ASM to devastating effect. If you've got Joelinton doing that for Maxi and someone else doing it for Isak, that's a helluva lot of pressure on Bruno to provide everything from the centre?

It doesn't happen at the same time though. Usually the midfield rotates over to the relevant side the ball is on. For example when Joe was helping Burn on the left to give Maxi a bit more license to be available to break, Bruno and Willock shifted over more to cover the middle.

TK-421 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Being greedy, but I just hope we can bring one or two more in today, loans would do, so we have better options off the bench than Wood and/or Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 We did that last night despite Longstaff being poor and Murphy & Wood playing for nearly 30 minutes. Add Tielemans and Joao Pedro to this group and we'd smash it. Hope the owners think fuck it, let's do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juventus have struggled to move players and so were considering moving him on. My God what a signing that would have been. Also has his international team mate Schar here already. Juve still haven't managed to move any midfielders on as they want to sign Paredes from PSG. Who knows man ... lets see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I can only see someone like Dendoncker on loan with an option.... that sort of thing. Eddie hinted a few weeks ago that he didn't want loans unless the player was invested long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
