That's a pretty positive universe if it still has us in the top flight under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitude20 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Eddie was trying a new formation in the 1st half that happened to create a lot of empty spaces in midfield, and Aston Villa exploited those spaces, so IMO we can’t read much into Tonali and Bruno’s individual performances. Let them play together for a few games in our 4-3-3 and the we can judge their performance as a duo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Tonali provides good cover and competition for Anderson. Can't expect Anderson to be able to play every game in all competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 A fair amount if not all of the writing-off posts are whooshes, whether that’s about Tonali or someone else. Everyone’s just bored out of their minds. Can’t wait for the season to begin, stopped caring in detail about the transfer window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financially both wouldn't have cost as much as tonali cost us (transfer fee and wages inclusive). Yeah you could argue that tonali has more room for improvement, better future but these duo are more pl proven, save us money and has the basic ability required for the team. Mind you, I won't argue much and go deep into this coz I am atleast ok with tonali (he was my 2nd choice for mdf) deal unlike livramento and Harvey Barnes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) After reading Gordon’s comments about the complexity of instructions from Howe a few things are kind of making sense - When he took over there was a slow start. A lot of this was fitness but it took time to get the players drilled on style - Bruno’s introduction to the team seemed to take a frustrating long time. Howe mentioned watching the team at the time to get up to speed - Gordon looking average since Jan, but significantly better for England Tonali is going to go through this (in probably the hardest position to integrate). We’re going to have move visibility of this though as he’s been signed at the start of pre season. So rather than on the training pitch he’s going to learn also in the warm up games. Gordon is also still going through it. Howe is also tweaking the system to try things out. It’s a shame the start of the season is so tough. A wobbly pre season and slow start could get some people on the backs of Tonali and Gordon. Also there will be ammunition for opposition fans to go fishing on Twitter. Personally I have no worries that they’ll both be excellent for us. Edited July 25, 2023 by KetsbaiaIsBald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
