All simple stuff really. That was supposedly a Gerrard tactic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think to myself at certain points " It appears that this is what SG may have aspired to do but couldn't " ? Even with regards to possession and so forth.

Jas10 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Questioned the signing initially and wondered why we paid a fee and went for a permanent deal rather than a loan (if the intention was just to fill out the squad in a weaker area, DM, probably just because Kamara got injured) but… he has brought a lot of what we have been missing. Height, physicality, the ability to “mix it” and get stuck in…great interceptions and good at the defensive side. His passing stats and ability have surprised me (looks a bit cumbersome out on that pitch but does what he excels at effectively) and he is an asset for now… I wonder where he stands with both Kamara and Luiz fit and available… would he still start? Probably depends on the opposition… Suppose he can also fill in at CB if required so maybe makes the Bednarek deal look the “less sensible” one… Nakamba’s time is up.

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 9 hours ago, mjmooney said: That was supposedly a Gerrard tactic. Kind of. He wanted the two wide central midfielders to cover the full backs but also needed them to support the attack too so it left massive spaces and they were probably over worked as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I said at the time a level headed Wolves fan (I know) told me he was a good player but also one that could easily become a scapegoat when things aren’t going well for the team due to his style.

TheMightyVillans Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Gerrard was bringing him on in the 70min when we were chasing games. Turns out he is a decent player when you play to his strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I keep seeing his deal runs out in June, did we really only sign him on a one year deal, seems BS considering the fee we allegedly paid Wolves for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Gerrard had absolutely no idea how to use him. It's pretty clear he was purely a Lange signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
