I get what you’re saying from a width perspective but for me the ability to move the ball quickly from defence into attack whilst also retaining possession in the middle of the park will be key. I know that he will be a physical presence but the lack of agility and technique against their midfield scares me a lot. The triangle of PEH, Davies and Royal could cause all sorts of problems when playing out from the goalkeeper.I know what you mean, and I’m not a massive Hojbjerg fan but I think it’s sensible. Biss and Gio will need some help in there to get control, it just doesn’t feel like a game for Gil, I think he’ll get bullied out of it by Walker and it’ll feel like playing with a man less.
Despite my long term feelings on Gil I would like to see him given a chance and a run, I just do t think this is the game for Bryan. I actually feel in this one particular game his presence would limit us more than Hojbjergs.
Even if Biss is deepest and PEH is sitting ahead of him I still think PEH could be problematic. I don’t even dislike PEH but in a game like this where controlling the ball in the midfield will be key im concerned. Hopefully he has a storming game.
