A few clips he seems to be coming in off the left, a few from the right and a fair few he's central. I wonder if we'd fancy him as an 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFox99 Posted 4 August 2023 Share Posted 4 August 2023 I really don't like how we'd have to play 6 matches with an unfinished squad before the window closes... Just seems like a waste and an oversight to not be in shape for the start of the season. Feels like Rudkin thinks the season only starts in the 2nd week of September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints and Leeds have hardly been prolific in the window so far. Just got to hope we can pick up some decent results in the 1st 6 games and then look to have our squad settled ready for September.

LVFox Posted 4 August 2023 Share Posted 4 August 2023 If we can bring Nanasi, Rak Sakyi and Casadei, potentially Harwood Bellis too, I'd be supremely confident we will win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussex Fox Posted 4 August 2023 Share Posted 4 August 2023 I had hoped we might get ex Arsenal youth player Zach Awe on a free, but it looks like he's off to Southampton now. He would have been a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanasi is a Maddison type player. Also what Maresca said about his wingers is strange given he's signed a right footed left winger in Mavididi who cuts in and gets shots off quickly and we are quite close to getting Rak-Sakyi who's left footed and plays on the right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't imagine it will be a case of getting to the byline and whipping in crosses. More so, staying wide and playing balls from deeper to the two #8's, striker, and opposite winger who would all get in and around the box which Enzo has also spoken about. They could do that with either peg I suppose. I do get what you mean though. It seems what he's saying and the players we are getting isn't lining up but I did predict our wingers playing on the touchline as we don't look like we will get width from the FBs.

We need better 8's if that's the case too. Mavididi and Rak-Sakyi are goal scorers and should be encouraged to get in the box. It's going to take some getting used to Maresca's comments and actions because there's a fair bit that I'm quite confused on with him so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying its happening just relaying what I've been told. Take it however you want. Nice! That's one I've suggested on here. Gustav Issaksen is the most promising Scandinavian winger / attacker, but it looks like he is going to Lazio and looks way too good to me to be playing in the Championship. This guy is more raw but just 21 years old and has caps for Sweden. Championship probably is a good move for him, to get tons of games for a good side without the immediate high pressure of the Premier League. If we pay under 10m Euro for him, then worth a punt. Swedish players can range from the level of Ken Sema for Watford to Emil Forsberg of RB Leipzig! He played a different position, but Viktor Gyokeres is a good example of a player that turned up looking like a jobber and ended up leaving as a fully fledged international playing for a good European club. I feel like the Championship is quite a good place for some players to develop their game. I feel like that happened with Vardy to some degree too.

I imagine if Mavididi had the ball wide left, the 8's, the striker and Rak-Sakyi would all be in or around the box. Likewise Mavididi would be in there if Rak-Sakyi had it. As for the quality of the #8's, I think that's key. They seem like they will be integral but with KDH, Casadei, Nanasi and potentially Alves (although I'd prefer to add a little more experience to that group) I think they could possibly be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems what he's saying and the players we are getting isn't lining up but I did predict our wingers playing on the touchline as we don't look like we will get width from the FBs. Exactly that, this whole system is about creating areas of space and creating 1 vs 1 situations. By the winger staying out wide, the full back has a choice to either get tighter to slow down momentum of the wingers, which in return creates spaces for the 8’s to run into. Obviously if the full back decides to tuck in and keep shape, the winger has a 1 vs 1 opportunity to take on his man. Most teams in this situation will use a midfielder to double up and cut out space for the winger to run into, which again creates space within the middle. We create an offensive trap whether that is trapping them to commit to men in the middle of the park and then spreading it out for the wingers in space. Or they try to stop us on the wings and we use the space In the middle to create. Win win situation if done properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
