Czechlad Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Give him a chance at left back in the 5-3-2 formation. I really think that he would do excellent there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think that he would do excellent there. Me too. Really was a bizarre decision by Bruce to bench him when playing 5-3-2 but play him in 4-4-2 (or whatever is was against Barnsley) Any sane person would do the other way round. Edit: But I guess it goes in line with signing 2 pass oriented CM's and selling your target man and then start playing hoof ball.

Edit: But I guess it goes in line with signing 2 pass oriented CM's and selling your target man and then start playing hoof ball. First part is completely on Bruce's decision making although with Taylor injured, Bruce had to play Amavi regardless of what formation we are using. When both are fit, I really hope to see Taylor in a back 4, and Amavi in a back 5. Never the other way around like Bruce has done already. Second part, I don't think this is on Bruce. Baker and Hutton are terrible with maintaining possession under pressure. Chester also is not great at that. When they get the ball and are put under a little pressure, they immediately just hit it deep. Better safe than sorry, but it causes us to bypass our midfield entirely and makes Hogan almost useless. Bruce needs to work on playing out of the back. Sam also is terrible at maintaining possession. People complained against Guzan's kicking, but Guzan at least would lump it up to Benteke's general area which worked half the time. Sam just seems to punt it anywhere and rarely allows us to build out of the back. Our strikers aren't target men so we will lose the ball 90% of the time doing this so we are under constant pressure.

I thought as much. Should have been full of energy but gave the ball away once or twice and just trotted back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Done for me. We all know he can't play left back, clearly can't play further forward. Hopefully just in the squad due to injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 still think it will make Tony look weak saying we rejected 25 million for him. his injury was bad but not bad enough to make him look utterly clueless cant see a premier league team come in for him either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 He's also had some poor games on the wing, but I agree it's worth giving him some more game time there. However I really wish we'd have forced him out when that supposed £25m bid came in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
