Thing is if you move the FB wide then you have to account for that in the centre of the pitch especially when you loose possession. It’s not as simple as getting the FB to go on the outside whilst the WF changes into an IF.
Likewise if you keep your WF wide in the middle build up phase but then...
But then we would need to adjust our tactics to allow the WF to cut in which essentially compresses our width. Im not saying i disagree with what your saying but Ange seems very keen for our wide forwards to hug the touchline in order to keep the pitch as wide as possible, I would be surprised...
I find Motta's tactics fascinating tbh. He essentially starts with a back 4 but in possession one of the CB will push up into midfield alongside the midfielder whilst the two FB's will stay deep to create a three. Calafiori in this has been the primary starting LCB and has played there 26 times...
Tbh I would quite like to see more fluidity in our front line in general as I think it add's a element of unpredictably to an attack. Whilst low blocks are always hard to break down, having players with good technical ability interchanging often causes positional disruption in a deep set...
Looking increasingly likely Liverpool are going for Slot. Supposedly he is now their no 1 candidate. With that in mind Im not sure Gil going to Feyenoord would be the best move for him.
If Skipp had been playing regular PL football on loan for the last two seasons I do wonder if he wouldn't be too far from Gallagher's level. Maybe not but I don't think its entirely impossible.
If I could take one player from Bologna it would 100% be Calafiori. Problem is that he is likely going to Juve alongside Motta at the end of the season.
I rate Zirkzee a lot and think he has a great potential but personally I think he would be an awkward fit for our current system. Zirkzee is a deep lying forward who regularly drops deep to get involved with the build up. Its not uncommon to see him even coming into his own half to pick up the...
Honestly I wasn't really saying you were criticising him. The fact is you are right that he will go down as blunder but I feel like it's only a blunder because how poorly we handled his development. He might never have adjusted to the physicality of the league but he might have still developed...
I think the problem with Gil is that for two seasons in a row he was sat on the bench for half of them then was sent on loan back to Spain. He has never been given a real chance to adapt to the PL, even to this day
Obviously the transfer was a complete failure, one can’t really deny that, but...
Liverpool have been talking to Slot and I have a feeling they could well go for him now links with Amorim have cooled. If Slot goes it could be a bad move for him tbh.
That would be great if that’s the case. Considering how little Donley has featured i was assuming that he would need a loan next season and Gold was saying Moore despite training with the first team for a week was going to be moved to the under 21’s before anything.
I guess considering we are...
