MotoMkali Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 3 hours ago, sne said: That's what I think makes most sense considering the players we already have at the club. This might change of course if we bring in quality or lose someone. Hope we go 4-3-3. Why? If we go 4-3-3 we have 4 players for 3 positions essentially (Ramsey needs to go out on loan) if we go 4-2-3-1 we have 4 players for 3 positions essentially. We need 1 for both imo. 4 for 2 is concerning when we nakamba is going to miss a month and it is the position that should be rotated most heavily. And so what if that is how Liverpool did it. We aren't them. City arguably play a 4-1-4-1 (with 4 behind the striker and holding not just 2 cms) and they are among the most dominant sides in Premier league history. 4-2-3-1 is an excelled structure for a team. Also Liverpool had 2 of the most creative full backs ever who had outlier seasons especially Taa. We don't have that frankly. So we need more creativity in our midfield.

VillaChris Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I'm not sure. I think we'll start the season with what we have now (and which was good enough to beat Spurs, Everton and Chelsea in last 5 games). Would expect another 2-3 in before deadline day though.

There wasn't a huge amount of chat about a player in that position until it became clear from the ESR bids that it's a position they're seeking to fill. I mean there was maybe not by the club but then there generally isn't a huge amount from them anyway. But most wanted another Lw or Cam. And another DM as well.

It was widely acknowledged we needed more in attacking areas but there was more talk of wingers etc until Villa started bidding for a 10 and reports (pinches salt) said that was the position looking to be filled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
