Think against Newcastle we’ll want to be a bit more robust, so play with 4 midfielders, then Diaby and Watkins. Tielemans in the Ramsey role tucking in from the left side McGinn on the right. Dougie will roam and switch with Tielemans at times. Edited August 6, 2023 by mikeyp102 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Tielemans is suited for the Ramsey Role and if he were we would have seen it already in the pre season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Not sure if posted elsewhere already, but this is pretty interesting.

Marka Ragnos Posted August 6, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2023 If it were just a matter of picking the most skilled individuals, I'd say start him. But Emery seems to consider so many other variables -- and wisely so. We saw what Stevie G. did last year, totally wreaking havoc with the relationship chemistry on the squad, a mess Emery had to undo. I think even amazing players are best worked in patiently when you've got such a strongly meshed squad. We have some great problems, that's for sure.

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 At least it didn't take long to find out which version of Tielemans we were getting. Possibly his best version yet! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leicester fan who came on here and posted that Tielemans had been played out of position for the last 18 months which is why it looked like his form had dropped off seems to have got it spot on. I think Tielemans just might be our POTS this year - think he will get some great assists with the range of passes that he's already shown. I think him and Luiz will be an almost perfect duo in terms of controlling possession and the flow of the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the thing is we're going to have great options to bring on during the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem was that Stevie G wasn't picking our best players and when he was picking them they were either out of position or being asked to do something that didn't play to their strengths. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitting JJ McGinn Diaby Kamara Luiz and Tielemans into the same team in the midfield and attacking mid and wings . 4 spots for those 6 who are all starters in my book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pregra Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 0 pace, strength, stamina. Have to be extremely good of a ball player to compensate that. Which he isn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 What has happened to him, years ago used to breeze around the pitch, cpl of my Leicester mates said he's slow and can’t do it no more, can see what they mean after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
