Flat midfield 3 with him, Garner & Rohl?

Yep.

Pickford

JOB - Tark/Keane - Branners - Myko

Rohl ----- Garner ----- KDH

Dibling ----- Ndiaye ---- Grealish​

When Ndiaye is at the AFCON, give Alcaraz a go in that role.

Bang average today

Garber would be the sitting mid then rohl kdh take turns to break forward. Is why i have even said some games alcaraz in a 3

To me this is a weird amount of changing to maybe get something out of players

David Moyes can’t pull this off

Stop playing him at 10 he doesn’t influence the match enough there

Probably not... and thats unfortunate for us.

I actually wouldn’t mind seeing us set up that way. It would take Beto and Barry out of the equation. It’s different and creative, which is why I doubt it’ll ever come to fruition.

This isnt an "i told you so" post from me but It's interesting how posters are now seeing what I also posted after his first couple of games - and was mocked.

He's simply not a 10 & he should occupy the areas in which Gana plays as a more attacking option.

For me, it's still Gana or KDH.

I am hoping that he's been signed as the Gana replacement for the AFCON and next season. Hopefully, Moyes is just playing him as much as humanly possible - for some unknown reason aside from him making a major error signing an 8 to play 10.

He was signed for £25mil rising to £28mil I think. I said we overpaid for him as Chelsea wanted him out the door.

If we put him up for sale tomorrow (hypothetically), would we get our money back?

I dont like him playing so advanced. His strength is late runs into the box from deep. He's not good enough to play as a 10. In fact I'd rather we just play a standard 433 without a 10. It's an overrated position.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

He’s obviously doing the job he’s being asked to do, even if it’s not immediately obvious exactly what that is. It’s as much about what they do off the ball as what they do on it.

Yes. Undoubtedly.

Easily a ~£30m player in this market.

Good ball control. Always looking to pass. He’s just one position too high on the pitch. Put Rohl in front of KDH and we might have something.

 

[ElGato]

Anonymous on the ball today but don't think he had much of it in the right areas. Playing in the ten against City bit of a thankless task. Worked tirelessly off the ball without much joy

6/10 performance, but definitely not a stinker by anyone's standards

Its a system that accommodates our most technically gifted players.

Given that Beto isnt exactly banging them in currently i just think that it's surely worth a go

He’s not anything like Gana though. He’s a neat, tidy, stand in the right spot off the ball player. Gana is more of a risk taker in and out of possession. Swapping them requires many changes to what is happening to make this work.

We paid the big 6 tax make no mistake.
