Shearergol Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Played in completely the wrong position and the wrong tactics. Like Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago 21 minutes ago, joeyt said: 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 Tonali/Bruno as the two sitting and Anderson in front. Could’ve been something but never seen it and never will. Need to sign someone who can play in front, or CDM and have Bruno in that advanced role. Don’t even see him crash into the box anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) He's fast, athletic and covers loads of ground. I don't see why he's the wrong for the way we play. Edited 15 hours ago by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't pass to him much and when we do nobody makes the runs for his quick thinking forward passes. Bruno seemed to have a high link up with Miggy and Trippier, but it isnt working with anyone down the rightd for some reason. It's odd as he's been here a while now to know our system and players. Just feel like he has too much of a free role in a failing system at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Just don't seem to have found his best place. He covers so much ground but he's played better for his national side than for us already this season. Can he really play with Bruno in the side? Or is it a formation issue again?

Tactics - or lack of. We should be owning the midfield with Bruno, Tonali and Joe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago 1 hour ago, duo said: Tactics - or lack of. We should be owning the midfield with Bruno, Tonali and Joe. It never looked like a particularly good midfield to me - it’s far too slow for a start; Joelinton isn’t technically good enough to play there, and Tonali is very much ‘jury’s out’. I haven’t seen anything to convince me that any other manager would be able to make that work as a three man midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, that midfield isn't complementary at all. I think we'd look better/more solid with Joelinton back out wide again but that only works as long as Gordon's out injured.

Kanji Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Thought we looked better because JL and Willock were doing their thing wide left more than anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago He has to play on the left side of a double pivot to get the best out of him. He’s of a higher general standard than Joelinton so its going to take Joelinton getting dropped to maximise his ability. Something on the face of it Howe isn’t willing to do.

Sima Posted 56 minutes ago Share Posted 56 minutes ago You need fast CBs on the outside of a 3-5-2. Not our oil tankers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted 54 minutes ago Share Posted 54 minutes ago Just now, Sima said: You need fast CBs on the outside of a 3-5-2. Not our oil tankers. It was a 5-3-2 that was mentioned, so I would probably have Kelly down as the left sided one. Maybe Krafth could be the right sided one for now and Schar given the central role.

Tsunami Posted 43 minutes ago Share Posted 43 minutes ago We looked a better shape when Longstaff came on and Longstaff did harder yards than Tonali and it showed. Howe needs to find a way to make a midfield with Tonali in it to work. We can’t be having a situation where we are missing Longstaff simply because of work rate and ball recovery. That’s where we are at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
