Last season they played 3 at the back, so he either played as a rwb, some form of right midfielder, or didn't play at all. The comparison to how we play and him fitting in would be the season he scored 1 in 3 for lyon. (Not last season) Great analysis and detective work and great to hear! : > I'm now feeling happy about this deal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Scored 13 goals in his first season for Lyon, if he can recapture that form he'll be a cracking signing , but it's big if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent record in Holland too so he is capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't, I can assure you on this. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Gut feeling is there will be moments of brilliance followed by frustrating stuff . Rinse repeat. Very Tony Daley-esque and I'm on board for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 A bit of trivia, in Holland it was fitting that he played for Vitesse, which is the French word for speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Unfortunately I do not think the RWB is true. I think the reason for him playing fewer games is because of garcia alternating with a 3-5-2 formation. His starts came in 4-2-3-1 at right attacking mid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least they were in midfield and not as a forward, that gives him a bit of an excuse. (Though I suppose he should really have scored 2 or 3 goals from 14 starts in attacking mid, rather than just 1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
