He is the best passer at the club, by a mile, but also is more physaical than I thought. A run of games means he has got up to speed, and we are benefiting greatly from it. Has to be a starter alongside Kamara Interesting. If all players were fit right now, would Luiz be starting for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd probably be playing as the 10. Or perhaps we'd play emery's favourite formation which is 4-1-4-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Mcginn was saying that tielemans was playing through the pain barrier to play against Liverpool. I really hope emery gives a fair few of them a rest this weekend, and gives some youth a chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it wasn't aggravated by the game in any way, and there's still an outside chance he gets to play with Belgium this summer. Selfishly it would be better for us if he had a rest, but the man clearly loves playing football and wants to represent his country. Would be nice if we weren't the direct cause of him not being able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he would have played if there was a risk it would rule him out of the Euros, it’s still a few weeks away, he’ll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone at the club has seen anything from him that’s made him look a worthwhile signing, I’ll never know. I really thought our recruitment would be much better by now.

NurembergVillan Posted May 17 Moderator Share Posted May 17 On 21/09/2023 at 22:28, marklcfc said: He played more advanced intially, we had Ndidi with two 8's (Tielemans and Maddison) but then Rodgers decided he wanted a more able passer of the ball to receive off the defence and play forward (Ndidi is hopeless at this), so Tielemans dropped back, often Ndidi was ahead of Tielemans and this went on up until relegation (Soumare replacing Ndidi eventually ). But this required more defensive work and to get up and down the pitch more. As you can see he can't do this. I honestly think he'd struggle in the Championship now, we'd be much worse off with him here put it that way. He's spent, his legs have gone as I said when he signed and was laughed at. All he's got is a decent through ball, the odd wonder strike but the negatives outweigh any positives left in his game.

MaVilla Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) of the many bright spots this season, Tielemans has been one of the brightest imo. He has been absolutely superb, what an eye for a pass he has. Edited May 17 by MaVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 27th September 2023 we had just been knocked out of the cup against Everton so emotions were high and Youri had a stinker is what it is. Wasn't until a few games later when we dicked AZ in Europe that it all turned round for him He was pretty bad for the first 3 months or so tbf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
