Core Squad

[MikeEFC1878x]

Barry was our player of the season. He won't play 40 games this time out but he should be the first name on the team sheet until form or fitness see him into a more sporadic role.

Absolutely vital to the team and squad.

doubt he will start he will be nearly 36

need someone to control the tempo of the game he is too slow his role last year was to protect the back 4.. didn't do job good enough


we was hit on counter alot as him and jimmie was confuse to stay or to go... koeman will play 1 cm and 1cdm possibly not even that 4=42 with 2 cms we need someone to control the game not 4-2-3-1 with big gaps

we will see a proper cdm be bought if koeman wants one

Shipping out next summer: Barry (his contract will be expired).

Have I miss out anyone?

 

[hktoffee]

I do think our main issue are CM and a new keeper.

Signing Strootman and Witsel as first choice CM partnership make sense.

We haven't even seen tarashaj so I wouldn't call him part of our 'core' tbh

 

[No habla Inglés]

left wing..
We don't want kone playing there anymore.
Creative cm, who can run the game.
Another quality striker .
Top quality keeper.
Cb's who can head the crossess ..
That's about it..

Sniv, Sniv and Sniv.

 

[Verbal Kint]

I can see Koeman wanting to strengthen the midfield, left winger and add another 1/2 strikers. Adding to the fact we only have 1 keeper and inexperienced cover at right back I can see 7/8 arrivals this summer.

 

[Abraders]

Our core is Baines Mori Stones Coleman Lukaku Deulofeou and Barkley.

Every other position needs strengthening a great deal if we are to do anything of note.

 

[Zatara]

GK -- ??? / Robles
RB -- Coleman / Kenny / Connolly
RCB -- Stones / Jagielka / Pennington
LCB -- Mori / Galloway
LB -- Baines/ Oviedo / Garbutt
DM -- Barry /McCarthy / Besic
CM -- Cleverley / Davies / Gibson
LW --
ACM -- Barkley / Dowell / Tarashaj
RW-- Deulofeu/Lennon/Mirallas/McGeady
CF-- Lukaku /Niasse / Kone

We should be targetting this longer term:

GK -- ??? / Robles
RB -- Kenny / ???
RCB -- Stones / Pennington
LCB -- Mori / Galloway
LB -- Connolly / ???
DM -- ??? / McCarthy / Besic
CM -- Davies / ???
LW ??? / ???
ACM -- Barkley / Tarashaj / Dowell
RW -- Deulofeu / Lennon
CF -- Lukaku / ??? / ???

Other than kids the core is:

Stones
Deulofeu
Barkley
Lukaku


(Forgot Browning)

Baines and Coleman will need to dramatically improve over their past 2 seasons showing.

Mori needs to cut out the errors.

Mori needs to cut out the errors.

Mori is sound, Jags and Stones just as culpable for errors as him - and we have a coach who was previously a defender now, so hopefully that should improve.

Baines and Coleman both poor for sure, but there IS quality in there and thus I still consider them a major part of our core for now.

I cant see either of them playing behind wingers...and i think we need a top LW and Deulofeu playing every game
