In pure football terms, a pivot is a midfield component that dictates how the rest of the team functions. ...... What is the role of a pivot on the pitch? A pivot has different roles to perform on the pitch. However, a pivot’s primary function is to provide cover and screen his defence, preventing oppositions from breaking their lines. He also dictates the play with his passing and pass selection. ..... What is a double pivot in football? Unlike the single pivot, the double pivot usually comprises two players with different characteristics. They are expected to maintain a set distance between them at all times so as not to leave any part of their defence exposed. Bit of light reading for you there before you go to bed. No need to thank me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Tarkowski would be an extremely disappointing signing for me. Our two biggest problems are lack of a quality DM (hopefully solved now) and being rubbish at playing out from the back. Tarkowski would do nothing to improve that. He is also slow and to make our system work we need to be playing with a higher line. Would would have to switch back to a counter attacking system to accomodate him. It's makes no sense to me. This would be the pointless Ings signing all over again. This is nothing to do with the quality of the players as they are very good players. They simply don't add anything we really need, and have little resale value. Suarez would be like Young. Adding experience and a back up nothing more. Clearly past their best and not improving us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Doku being amazing at the Euro's but hadn't seen him playing this season at all (who watches French football outside of France??).

I think he's out of our price range and he'll also go to a CL club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
