I can’t fucking wait to see him play, he’s a game changer for the midfield. When he smashes in his first goal at st James! He scored on his debut.

sushimonster85 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Do think he could/will be massive for us this season. Some paitence will also be needed, will likely be well into October till he is fully 'Eddie Howe' match fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh thats interesting, guessing that'd mean Big Joe would play further forward, and we'd look to "pivot" away from a three in midfield Tonali Bruno Gordon Joelinton Barnes Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I'd love to know what a double pivot actually is is it 2 players running around each other, like 2 Scott Parkers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Just invent your own football terms and wait for everyone else to use them. I've started to refer to the NUFC RW as a Ghost Winger, for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a straightforward way of saying the two players who sit in front of the defence in a 4-2-3-1. One will hold while the other joins the attackers.

Instead of having a traditional holding midfielder or DM, you have two players who take turns dropping in. Tonali and Bruno could do this for us.

Checko Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 'Double pivot' is simply quicker to say than 'playing with two 6/8 hybrids who alternatively push forward or sit deep depending on the success of their torso deception' Honestly though, I hope we do set up like that, at least in passy passy situations. The 433/451 we set up in really doesn't work for posession football though it works well at other times of the game. No reason why both systems can't be incorporated. Just rotate the middle triangle round a bit. I mean, we went to that system against Bournemouth when willock came on and suddenly Big Joe had someone near him to pass to (Bruno) and stopped losing the ball all the time. Bruno had a lot more licence to get forward because he knew Big Joe was back and would cover. And given Bruno is our best midfield playmaker, allowing him more freedom to get forward is probably a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
