MWARLEY2 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 10 minutes ago, Rossco76 said: We have to try and forget about thinking of these players as out and out wingers imo and start thinking about whether they could fit into what would appear to be Gerrard's preferred set up of narrower inverted wingers aka "2x #10's". Cutting into the middle of the park to either link up with central striker for one-two's or making runs into central positions beyond the central striker to receive and have a shot at goal. Bidace and Carney could play the 2 x 10 roles easily. In fact i think it would be a great position for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco76 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Probably more of a discussion for the team shape thread tbf but thought I'd put in here for consideration when thinking of selling any of our wingers this Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 As well as Lingard played last season. I wouldn't consider him. Players shouldn't have such business interests while they are still playing. They should be focused 100% on football, not running a fashion brand. I can imagine what Roy Keane would say about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 No more attacking players please. Time to get some balance. A top quality left back and a centre mid . Both with physical as well as technical attributes. Thats all we need to really push up the table. Martinez/ Steer / Sinisalo Cash/ Young Konsa / Tuanzebe Mings / Hause **NEW **/ Targett Mcginn/ Sanson **NEW **/ Luiz / Nakamba Ramsey / Chukwuemeka Bailey / Buendia / Traore Watkins / Ings / Archer / Davis El Ghazi / Bidace / Trez 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to ground too often like that is going to be exploited by savvy wingers/forwards, especially in the box. I do really like his technique, though - seems to be able to cross the ball very well and looks comfortable with the ball at his feet. Having him and Targett as options would be excellent tbf as they both bring something a little different to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 21 hours ago, MrBlack said: Problem being only one of those plays on the left wing. Some of the rest are capable of it, but we are woefully unbalanced in our forward offerings, and was (imo) a big part of the reason why Smith never worked out his best team (injuries being the other factor). This cannot really be fixed without a new body coming in. Edit: and probably one or two leaving. Further edit: Lingard? F%$# NO I agree. I am not ruling out that at all....but don't be surprised to see the ins and outs being a part of the balancing act. for one resaon or another, I don't think Dean had as much clout as we thought....just my suspicion, no evidence to support that.

TRO Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Wasn't too impressed watching Weston McKennie the other night v Chelsea....I think we should maybe steer clear of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
