Ideal to bring on when 2-0 up at Stamford Bridge to see the game out
But then has Dier this season? If we're going to play the same way, I don't mind the midfielder who drops back being somewhat limited. I'd rather we found someone who could do that job and be progressive on the ball, but there aren't many of those around. William Carvalho perhaps, but I don't know whether he's realistic.
I'd like him. We need another player that can do the "Dier role". He's the right age, his contract is running out at Poch knows him. And his middle name is Mugabe. He doesn't take prisoners.
I'd sooner go back in for Christoph Kramer.
But we've also seen how well Capoue - a player very similar to Wanyama - very much didn't work in our system.
Capoue is absolutely nothing like Wanyama. Capoue is more like Carrick.
If Poch wants Poch gets.
Capoue is absolutely nothing like Wanyama. Capoue is more like Carrick.
I never thought Capoue was that bad. It was just his attitude and work rate that was more than questionable. Plus he looked like he needed an arm round him and a confidence boost all the time. Can't be bothered with players like that.
Do you mean a good half-season? They picked up 16 points from 19 games in the second half of the season. That's atrocious., a team with no right to have the season they had, is evidence that he's a decent player.
Haha just thought the same! However if competition picks up in the forward areas, say Batshauyi and a WF coming in, I could see Alli/Eriksen alongside the DM in games like that...
I think the Mikel comparison is decent, drafted in for tactical reasons where we need to be more resolute.
If we played Eriksen alongside the DM we would get raped.
