Are you suggesting we are going to buy a CM, and then play him at WB?Can you remind me who out of our rwbs who contes whole system works through is cutting through defences and whipping in crosses please?

I hope I don’t seem like I’m digging him out? That’s not my point. Yes he had great numbers. But he’s not quick, explosive or have a decent cross. He had Traore in front of him also, so he was left a lot of space and time as traore occupied 2/3 players.I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure In his last season for wolves he was one of the highest in the league for assists, which says to me it’s in there and the evidence is that before his injury he was starting to show it.
No. I asked you who out of our rwbs we’re going to??Are you suggesting we are going to buy a CM, and then play him at WB?

No you didn’t at all ? agree to a degree but we also have players across the front that will pull defenders all over and create that space….. I hope!? I think he’s a better option than Emerson for the job.I hope I don’t seem like I’m digging him out? That’s not my point. Yes he had great numbers.

Right - the conversation started with someone saying "We need a Maddison/Eriksen type to whip balls in..."No. I asked you who out of our rwbs we’re going to??
Oh definitely a better option. I just find it odd we seem to of had problems signing our new rwb but he’s looking like 3rd option. I’m all with signing players for the future but we need roaring rwb imo. Someone to get past kulu with pace.No you didn’t at all ? agree to a degree but we also have players across the front that will pull defenders all over and create that space….. I hope!?

In a game like today where Roma just sat behind the ball all 2nd half I’d probably have pulled Hojbjerg. Roma are basically like a stubborn bottom half of the table side but with a load of internationals and the best low block coach ever. Was difficult to read much into it because we looked sluggish but we probably could have thrown a more creative player in the middle.Right - the conversation started with someone saying "We need a Maddison/Eriksen type to whip balls in..."
So, if you bring one in - who are you replacing? Deki is the logical choice - except he can, in fact hit balls into the box. the other option is WB - hence, my question.
Everyone pining for a 10 to come in and play in the CAM of a 4231, will have to wait for Conte, and probably Paratici, to leave the club.
That’s the thing with conversations I guess. They progress. My point was the rwb position. You’re correct in the formation issue tho. No point spending 60m for a bench option. Also the player would want out after 6 months. Zaniolo isn’t a player we need either tho. IMO. ?Right - the conversation started with someone saying "We need a Maddison/Eriksen type to whip balls in..."

I agree totally, but I think Conte would prefer a bulldozer (a la Zaniolo or Traore) than a locksmith, to open up a low block defence.In a game like today where Roma just sat behind the ball all 2nd half I’d probably have pulled Hojbjerg.

Therein lies the rub - we shouldn't spend £60m on a Maddison, to sit on the bench to wait for games like these. And Maddison does not defend well enough for Conte to start him in a CM2. Conte is looking for an option at RW - not CM.In a game like today where Roma just sat behind the ball all 2nd half I’d probably have pulled Hojbjerg.

Depends how many teams line up that way.Therein lies the rub - we shouldn't spend £60m on a Maddison, to sit on the bench to wait for games like these. And Maddison does not defend well enough for Conte to start him in a CM2. Conte is looking for an option at RW - not CM.
So, most of the time you are taking Deki out, which is fine, he needs competition and rest - but you are not really adding a 10, with 3 other attacking players - it will be a like-for-like sub.

Do you think? I think there are less defensive teams in the league than ever. Even the teams that came up want to try to play, I’m sure they’ll try to dig in when they need to but I don’t think they will be that suited to it.Half the teams we play will set up defensively, when Kane gets rested we lose creativity, 5 substitutes this year and a hopefully long CL run. There will be plenty of game time for a player like Maddison.
Nah. I reckon 6/7 teams will see us as changing formation to pick up points. That’s 12/14 games we will have to unlock them. We struggle big time. And if Kane misses out we have zero creativity. Just hopeful 50 50 dink passes. Seen it too many times.Do you think? I think there are less defensive teams in the league than ever.

Not when its the same damn opinion over and over again no matter how many times the opposite view is presented.It’s a discussion forum. People are going to share their views and they often get repetitive.
It’s just how forums are.
