Gedson has grown into this game to be fair.

I take back my earlier comment I think he’s actually offering more on the ball going forwards than Aurier did, just not had any defending to do so no clue what he’s like defensively but very promising.

I'm being harsh but CCV is treating the ball like a hot potato.
he's really just giving it to his closest teammate each time.
Cirkin on the other hand looks really good

And guided by king he could become a beast for us? Saves us buying another CB?
He used to be the next big talent at the club, and while he definitely has things going for him he also has got criticism for being slow footed and, well, short. Maybe in the PL he'll shine, but I would put it down as a long shot.

Thats fine, he's doing it with speed, and that should open up spaces up the field as the opposition has to readjust to ball positions. Simple passes are super important! All for it. I think he has looked composed on the ball.

It’s fluid mate but you’re right we did advance the LB more than we usually would probably due to the strength of the opposition but fundamentally it’s still the 442 OOP and 4-2-3-1 lopsided in possession.

Either way we’ve looked good.
Gedson Son and Hoyjbjerg all very impressive.
It is fluid. I'm calling it a 5-5 formation and be done with it!

What a ball that was to Gedson out on the right. Shame he couldn't pick out the cross.

Oh really that’s interesting mate, I’ve not followed his progression much Tbh. Is he short, he looks quite a big guy to me, slow footed I can see they a bit. Wonder if he’d be ok 4th choice CB option?

Id feel more comfortable with him than Foyth playing tbh.
