I don’t share your belief regarding the other midfielders. Gomes and Davies playing 10/15 games together wouid be a disaster. Again hopefully Gbamin can stay fit and get match sharp, because at least he offers us a physical back up
Our RW options are Iwobi and Townsend - that is so, so bad. At CM we have two good options, two average options and the rest are terrible. We’ve lost a fairly useful player in Sigurdsson (through no fault of the club, admittedly) and not been able to replace him in any capacity.
Then we had today to get someone in
I just worry that if you take Saturday v Brighton we got into about 13 great scoring situations. And messed up 11. We won’t get 13 every game. All our attacking options, bar James. Will lose the ball, miss control it, pick the wrong option and lose composure when it matters most.
Just like the Benitez ass lickers on here.
The only one who can answer that is Ancelotti himself
Playing together, disastrous, but covering for one, acceptable. (Gomes/Allan, Davies/Doucoure etc). Gbamin showed that he is far off the pace which is understandable but it may be some time still before he can truly come in and cover as needed. Hopefully he does though. Further forward, Gomes may be able to show some of his strengths more with the final pass rather than dictating in the middle. James will of course be the go-to creative midfielder though if we need to switch up the tactics, though Gray has already been used down the middle to a decent effect so who knows there.
Talk about money for old soap.This Kaveh fella on SSN
This is the problem. We don't give the youngsters or young players that we do buy a route to 1st team action since the money came. It was something we were good at & made lots of profit from it.
My mistake, it was being reported by several outlets that he had gone on loan for the season with a £12m fee agreed, but now it looks like he hasnt
One outlet, and not a verified one
