Rondon would have been the 11th lion out there today if he'd played. One thing he does do well is put pressure on.
Real interesting one, who should play striker.
If going with Rondon, would like to see him in a 4231
the idea, would be to have Richarlison, Gray and Gordon working together and Richarlison and Gray interchanging
if Richarlison could actually get a partnership going...
this team could start swinging if Richarlison and Gray are always moving to the space at the corner of the box, a bit of space and its a curling right foot wrap,
one or the other always moving into it, and base the rotation of the team in and past that, always returning again
builds rhythm and tempo.
maybe the 4231 defence has Iwobi, if he can play like that in AM he can hold and attack from the corner
the diagonal pass out of the corner to Richarlison, holding the cam slightly deeper, is just the lateral of the through balls Iwobi's been making
if Iwobi can see the timing of the runs between him and Richarlison, and thread the pass, the straight knock, that skilled touchers love
he gets to change phase and perhaps he's better doing that a bit further back for the value to the team
Richarlison central, but behind Rondon, allows him to touch, send, receive on the counter, he leads, Iwobi > Richarlison header
with Rondon the foil and folly to hide the fox.
