I get the ffp stuff but you look at Liverpool and hoe their young players have come in and done a great job. Maybe they have better ones than us. They can keep their best youngsters as they are not having to do it due to their huge income. We've kept Tim and if he steps up he will stay next season, if he under performs he most likely gets sold. I like him, he's got good skills can shoot and tackle well. Hopefully we stop this long ball way of playing we have began doing and he will fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 2 hours ago, gwi1890 said: Ummm he’s been building minutes gradually he started mid week and of top of that he’s barley played any football in the last 12 months due to injury so his workload has to be managed. The formation that everyone keeps on blabbing about is the same one we used last season to be Spur at their stadium the only difference was personnel. The idea was to nullify the attacking threat of their fullbacks and hit them on the break which we did in the first half we limited them to a single shot on target and should have capitalised on our opportunities . Limited them to one shot on target and didn't have a single one on target ourselves. We then didnt turn up for the second half, ceding possession and looking like it was the first time the team had played together. Last season when we beat them they were playing a totally different style of football, under a different manager. Before you even mention that it was away from home. The approach should have been front foot, it wasn't. Tim being the straight swap option for Kamara, with most of the core of the team having had an easy run out at Ajax, would have been fairly logical. Maybe he was protecting him, but having 5 defenders on the pitch when playing at home does suggest he wasn't confident in Tim over a far less logical choice. Either way, he should start against Ajax and I'm hoping we go back to the formation that has worked far more often than not this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Looked very composed and a Premier League standard when he came on. He is quick of thought with good feet. He is quite a unit too, and still growing, I reckon he will fill the McGinn void and be a better player for us for it. I think he has a future at the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I don’t think he’s up to it yet. Play him Thurs night, wouldn’t have him near starting 11 come Sunday. Lacks presence in mf, will probably come, but nows not time to blood him in prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got to play for the team at some point if we’re keeping him and when very depleted in midfield, this is absolutely the time. FWIW, I think he’s a good player. Will just take time to get up to speed, as with literally any player in a similar position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I want Timo to get the minutes but not sure why people shudder at the though of Chambers filling in. At the end of the day he's a senior player with experience. Insert " He played DM for Fulham " here too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As highlighted by others... the alternative is a non-dm (Youri), a formation that doesn't work (see spurs game), or a player that Emery has tried to sell twice already (Chambers). Now is definitely the time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Or just a " Flat 3 " with Doug being the deepest when required? Timo as the box to box cum disruptor and Youri with the license to support attack when required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
