Vaj Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 1 minute ago, Dr. TC said: Willock was totally and utterly anonymous on Saturday, while Joelinton was everywhere from the first minute. But you do you. No need to be rude, it is just opinions. I rate Joelinton very highly but would like to see how the above midfield would work. Also more than happy to see how Joelinton - Tonali - Bruno would work. Also, for me, we lost a lot because we took Tonali off when he was, in my opinion, our best player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I'm hoping that's the last of his managed minutes for a while. While he may not be a consistently super technical midfielder (although he has some fantastic passes in his locker imo), what I like about him most is that he picks & chooses moments in possession. He has more of a 'typical' midfielder's instinct for when to slow things down and when to speed things up compared to others we have. His speed across the middle was great at the weekend for nabbing second balls too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Hopefully he’s on all set pieces today, his corners are lethal if given a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myleftboot Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Plays in a different system and position he’s not used to. Longstaffs played in this system for 3 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't noticed Tonali much in the first half, then watched him for a bit just before he got pulled. Ran around the periphery a bit and laid off a couple of nice first time passes. Longstaff came on and bombed forward, then missed a couple of passes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to pass and move, our entire system is based around doing everything at 1000 mph... Unless that "everything" is rolling the ball around at the back, in which case we become painfully slow. He'd be best suited at the moment sitting deep while the other two push on. I'll never understand why Howe is so stubborn in playing Bruno where he does, it hamstrings the rest of the midfield massively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 the most underwhelming big signing since takeover imo clearly a very talented player there but needs to start showing it more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, we are clinging onto stuff that worked 1-2 years ago. We need to move on and evolve, try something new, even if that involves moving away from something that worked so well last year (or even 2 years ago)..

timeEd32 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I don’t understand what he was doing today. Felt like he left the right side regularly, which gave Palmer tons of space and left Tino and Schar exposed. If he plays on the left for Italy I’d try him there or I’d be interested in seeing him in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 When Almiron is RW, Tonali is probably instructed to help provide width more than when Murphy starts. I thought he was growing into the game when he was taken off, we started to see more of the one-touch passing & moving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 He played exactly like this before the ban but people forgot about it. Apart from the Villa when he scored he looks completely the wrong fit for the way we play He's too talented to be stuck at RCM playing one time passes back to the defence. We need to change systems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't want to have anything to do with whoever is messing things up down that right wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 As it stands, he doesn't play like a 55million player for us. If we could rewind time, we should have bought 2/3 players to build up on squad depth. Hindsight is a wonderful thing I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
