Lotus Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 1 hour ago, HawK said: Can see Gordon starting on the left with Bruno's injury, moving Joelinton to the middle with Longstaff + Willock. We're going to miss Bruno badly. I think the best we can do is try to bypass our midfield when playing out from the back and look to play through Trippier. Joelinton can carry the ball through the middle, but Longstaff and Willock are both poor on the ball when pressed. I can see us playing a bit deeper and playing on the break more as a result of this. Maxi should look good when he comes because of this change. Isak will be instrumental in retaining possesion and moving the team forward in transition. I think Willock is quite press resistant, myself. If he’s facing up to the opposition player I think it’s hard for them to force him into giving it away.

It should have been obvious from the start that Babel and Pennant were never going to put in the graft of someone like Kuyt or Kewell.

PR overdrive getting this quote out. Club is so good at it now. Of course not, it happens all the time on the pitch and in training. They wouldn’t have given it a second thought after.

If he’s facing up to the opposition player I think it’s hard for them to force him into giving it away. Sure, I agree. I think I phrased my point badly. What I meant was with Bruno, when he's under pressure he can still make progressive passes, or at least maintain our position. Willock and Longstaff I feel will not do this and will lay it back to Botman/Schar as they're less perceptive of our players in space when they receive the ball. So we're not going to get much from Schar/Botman bouncing passes to and from Willock and Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole ground picked it up straightaway which ultimately is the bigger picture as generic it might be. Also I don’t recall us having a chant to this tune in our repertoire but I may be wrong?
