shailen Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 Him and N'didi. No one is breaking that down. We can quite easily play with 4 strikers/attacking players with those two in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have very, very, very rarely throughout history been succesful sides with more than one "ball winning" midfielder. You should only ever need one Ndidi.

We saw how Liverpool and Man City opened us up at times in the fixtures vs them this season, if we do well in Europe we’ll be coming up against teams with that quality. Could really add a bit of steel and tactical nous to midfield when we need it. ..just been on the YouTube train!!! He does a lot of great things, has an aura of leadership about him. The problem is his off loads, they are either poor, not so as the supporting runner can run on to it, drags and holds up the play, killing an attack and not positive and pushing the play forward. Got to say no to this on, as we will all be frustrated with his decisions and executions. Their are better players out there just not with his commanding persona.

If we want to compete with the best, I think we need to realise that sometimes we will need to play 2 defensive mids. I think back to the games over Christmas against City and Liverpool and what difference a player like that would have made. We are not the best team in the league to be able to consistently out play the opposition. Sometimes we need to do more to restrict the opposition.

We got dicked by both of those teams out wide, not down the middle, because we left Chilwell against some of the best wider players in the world on his own and then act surprised when a young full back not famous for his defensive positioning got torn apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having worked in local media, for a very brief stint, you don’t normally go balls out saying something categorically isn’t going to happen, as in this scenario, unless you’re pretty sure. Seems odd that’s all considering the nationals are saying it’s done bar the fee being agreed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythyaar Posted 24 June 2020 Share Posted 24 June 2020 No thanks. Past his sell by date, slow as a boat and will be very cruelly exposed in the prem. I guess by signing him, Rodgers is saying Mendy and Hamza aren't good enough. Problem is, neither is Carvalho. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escape2victory Posted 24 June 2020 Share Posted 24 June 2020 Yep don’t mind this one. Better than Mendy, so improves the squad. Carvalho, Praet and Choudhury is decent replacement options to rotate midfield next season. Just need a real quality winger and CB and then will have a decent squad for league and Europe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossman Blessed It Posted 24 June 2020 Share Posted 24 June 2020 Seems good business especially if Mendy is heading out this summer. Experience at the highest level and a much more robust midfield option than either Hamza or Mendy when we need to hold on. An improvement on the squad that won't cost a fortune.
