Besic - CB

[Darren Higgs]

Koeman wasnt a giant at the back. Maybe he wants to mould him like himself.

He certainly plays like Koeman, NO, im not saying hes the same quality, I mean the style and of course without the 90 yard screamers in the top bin.

 

[Groucho]

Im not a big fan of 3 at the back, but if we played it, he would currently be in my 3, I personally wouldnt pick him ahead of Jags, Keane, Williams at CB in a 2 tho.

So in short, if we playing 3 at the back, yes for sure, 2 at the back, unless Keane, Williams or Jags were injured, no.

Yes I think I'd agree.

Prefer Besic in the middle, but think giving him time on the field in any area is a good idea. Guy is a beast.

Unless he's going to shift gueye and Morgan he's not playing in the middle.... Well it is a squad game I suppose

I always thought Koeman was at least 6ft, Besic is only 5ft9?

Besi = 5ft 9 1/2 Koeman = 5ft 11 1/3 just under 2 inches in the difference...

 

[Toffeepot]

look at it this way, he's taller than Sanchez and Aguero, slightly smaller than Firminho....Llorente, Carroll, Lukaku, Kane all taller but Keane can deal with the Lumpy lads! Besic would probably still win a header against Lukaku regardless lol the more I think about it I like the idea of a nippy, fast tackling, tight marking determined lad like Besic alongside Keane...this could be a master stroke by Koeman putting him back in his old position

I suppose we wont know until we come up against quality opposition. Wont have to wait long should RK be up for taking a chance.

TBH I'd rather try it out in the City game rather than the Stoke game. Think that Jesus lad is going to be a star this season.

According to the Mrs that 2inches makes all the difference. Anyway.... Been pondering this myself since the last injury. Would he be any good, certainly would scare the hell out of most strikers who play off the shoulder thats for sure.

 

[vagant59]

I would find a position for him just to have him on the pitch. His attitude and energy when he steps over that white line would set a great example to the rest of the youngsters in the squad.

 

[longers]

Has he played in a derby yet ?

No pace no height dives in all the time
Would be a disaster

No pace????

Out of the entire defence - Besic would be the fastest by some way mate, so dunno who your thinking off
