Yet they cut it in the prem. I agree that £8mill would be overpriced - but I honestly believe Bannon would add to this squad. Jack apart - he would be the best passer of the ball we would have. Imo he did wonders for Trump 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Kodjia El Ghazi Grealish Bolasie McGinn - Jed Hutton - Chester - Axel - Bree Nyland I rate Abraham but i don't think he should start every week. I am unsure on El Ghazi but the alternative being Elmo... i think i'd rather see if El Ghazi can do more over 90mins - he needs to work harder and cover more ground to flourish under Smith though.

Possibly, but tbh i dont see DS dropping Elmo from the position he has been playing, only leaves one spot up top? (Kodjia?) For some reason i dont get the feeling that DS is feeling overly experimental, however much i would also like so Ghazi and bolasie to get a chance (even if i havent been that impressed with them so far), for Taylor to be dropped and for bree to be given a chance with cafu at LB, don't really see any of that happening Also i havent been overly impressed with abraham the last couple of games tbh, his touch is really heavy and for a big guy he doesn't shield the ball too well, I would almost be tempted to give kodjia a shot up front. But........abraham prob saves our asses at defensive set pieces.... Edited October 31, 2018 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 yeah agreed, hopefully he will get the best out of these players, but i feel he needs to move away from an over reliance on players like Whelan, Hutton, Elmo and Taylor. Appreciate he can't do that yet. I don't really think we have the strikers to play one up front, last season Grabban did ok in that position and Snodgrass (before he went missing for the last ten games) was almost like having a second striker. Kodjia has never quite shown he can be a target man - even if he can pull rabbits out of hats, Hogan definitely can't and going all in on Abraham is wrong. So hoping that Smith is moving away from the loan target man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By starting them both you instantly commit to two early subs, what if you need to change tactics or we get 2 injuries like we did the other day? Asking for trouble!

I think I heard something like he has gone from managing the youngest squad in the league to the second oldest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
