HalfTimePost Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Great performance as an 8, not good enough as a 6 at least not in the way we need. Please stop playing him as a 6. We can convince him to sign the contract as an 8. Playing with Coutinho in a World Cup year as a player on the periphery of the Brazil team is such a selling point. Not to mention his romantic relationship at the club too, we can keep this guy. But if he thinks we're going to continue wasting him as he enters his prime years, he'll leave. Him and/or Ramsey can lead our new midfield rebuild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I'd love to quote all the posts I've made in here saying Doug isn't a number 6, and would be much better than any of our other options played further forward as an 8. But I'm lazy. Should start next game where he did this one. Nakamba keeps his spot. McGinn dropped for Buendia. Luiz would look so good in that midfield. I really hope we can persuade him to sign a new contract. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Completely different player more forward which most of us have said that’s his best position, hope we see more of him playing as an 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a loss if he goes but confident we’ll sign quality to replace him if he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I’m not a massive fan of Luiz but he was very good as an 8 but he’s awful as a 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Played well until Marvelous was subbed. Douglas Luiz looked good against one of the best teams around, let that sink in. I'd be very sad if he's allowed to leave! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 So we will sell him as we can't play him in his best position because apparently we have better options there and no options where we are forcing to play him. Yet he goes somewhere like Arsenal and probably starts immediately in his best position. So that begs tye question why don't we just play him in his best position then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 He can work as a 6 but not in Gerrard's system. Nakamba is much more suited to that role. The good thing is, he's such a good footballer that he's also an excellent 8. Hope Gerrard recognizes that. If anyone in that midfield is undroppable, it's him not McGinn.

WallisFrizz Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 When Nakamba was playing really well earlier in the season just after Gerrard came in, Dougie must have been playing further forward then. I don’t remember him being outstanding, maybe he was. He was really good last night and clearly better as an 8 than a 6 but even as an 8 can still be inconsistent.

LondonLax Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 We will probably sell him next month for something like £15m to Arsenal where he will go on to be pivotal in their Champions League campaign next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 This is a bit of a challenge because he was playing the JJ role. Yiu cabt play them both like so its one or the other. I think JJs forms dropped lately so im happy he the injury is giving him abit of a rest. As for luiz i think he was fantastic yesterday. My motm. Unfortunately not having a dcm means he has to play the number 6 role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
