Stopped reading after the first sentence. No, it's really, really not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Inspiration Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I’d love to see keinan and Wes deployed in a front two but it’s never going to happen with smith is it. Love the guy but horrifically stubborn with this system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember, it worked surprisingly well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re right, keinan has the dirty side of the game that Wes just doesn’t posses, think they’d both thrive in a two. *i use the term thrive loosely fwiw* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDVILLAIN Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Davis unfortunately is barely a championship player...swapping out wesley for him just shows how much of a striker wesley is not.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in a sense you aren’t wrong. That being said the alternative is two wingers that can’t beat a man, track back, beat the first man with a cross or finish their dinner. no win atm really is it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why Smith is being so stubborn, Wesley clearly can't cut it on his own so either drop him & play Kodjia or stick someone else up there with him in a two. Either would make the opposition a little more concerned about pushing players higher up the pitch than the not exactly nippy Wes just stood on his own 5 yards inside his own half 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny because I’m sure when we came up I remember him saying the style of play in the prem would suit him blah blah blah. maybe jt has been in his ear and he’s shagged deans mrs, who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimevalVillan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Right now, Dean's system is breaking down because McGinn is out and both AEG and Trez are not playing their positions well at all. Are they linking with the midfield and full-backs? No. Are they beating their man? AEG sometimes. Are they defending their man? No. Do Trez and AEG make smart passes or plays? No. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
