Gedson doesn't look half bad in this Aurier style RW/RB role. He hasn't been tested defensively at all and against super weak opposition, but I wonder if this is who he might use out there for cup games
Yea he’s an absolute solid 6/10 in that role. Certainly fine for cup games and against lower half prem sides where we should in theory not be caused a lot of problems but against top sides he won’t cut it.

Also a big fan of Toby doing what he does best and hitting diagonal balls to him for like 5 min in a row at some point

Tbf I would rather have a player who is always frustrated than a player who isn't. Feel like it speaks to the standard a player holds themselves and the team to
100% one who is always critical of themselves is one who expects perfection and demands high standards, not always a bad thing.

We need an RB and backup striker. If we get that, i feel we are a top quality CB away from challenging at the top.

Hojbjerg has the playing style as Vertonghen, he's very upright and his tackling is scarily similar to him.
that number 5 shirt also adds to the impact. So strange to not see verts in that number.

Also, if we are thinking of going with three at the back, it explains why we are looking for another centre back, and looking at wing backs for right backs.
Agree some promising attacking moves from him

I love pre seasons friendly knee jerks. Didn't we beat Roma 5-1 the season Harry had to save us after 10 games?
Yea with a manager who didn’t speak English and when we’d just sold our best strikers. Bentley had a stormer against Roma from what I remember and Darren bent mabye?

I'm not sure why fernandes isn't being played as a centre mid as that is where he has played most of his career but he has a good cross on him. Maybe mourinho sees him as a winger more than a centre mid

So sell Aurier and buy one right back on the knowledge that Gedson looks pretty good on that role

I'm now in on Chrome. Initially it wouldn't load on three different browsers and the club homepage is still failing to load - doubt it's just issues with my device / connection.
