How do Mina and Gomes get in the team?

[MarkK1988]

i hope were looking for a CM still now, for me id bin Lookman, dont think hes interested and hes not even in our top 2 wingers.

look at that brooks at bournemouth theres players to be found below us and if leipzig wanna pay 30 mill sound. spend the money on a area we need in centre mid

We could go 3-4-2-1

Pickford
Keane - Mina - Zouma
Coleman - Gueye - Gomes - Digne
Bernard - Gylfi
Richardson

Not enough width

Not enough width

Digne and coleman in that set up

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

It`s not even an issue.

Keane will soon revert back to type.

Davies is still a kid and should accept his place in the pecking order.

No sentimentality, the best players start.

Back to the reason why he was highly rated and cost a bit?

 

[Brisan123]

Digne and coleman in that set up

They are defenders and no width ahead of them

Two words - Steve Walsh.

It wasn't just Walsh that rated him though was it?

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

Because I'm no fan of Davies

That's Captain Davies to you.

 

[Parker]

Davies is dropped for Gomes but I wouldn't drop Keane straight away as he is in good form. Players should have their place in the first team on merit not by reputation. Besides it would be best to ease Mina in anyway.

He was rated in a Burnley team that defended on the edge of the box.

 

[BlueToff]

Gomes comes in for Davies, assuming he gets up to full fitness and match sharpness.

No desperate need to change it just yet, though, which is good.

I imagine we'll see Coleman back for Palace and Mina probably on the bench.

Gomes will need easing in just as much, tbf.

The same team sold us digne cheap as they didn’t want him. Gana is better than Davies and Davies shouldn’t be starting and playing every game for us atm. Therefore gomes should take his place.

Digne also had to wait and earn his chance (which he has taken)

As I said, Gomes is just coming back from injury and hasn’t played for a long time.
You can’t just throw him into the starting 11 and expect his match fitness and sharpness to be at 100%
These things take time to return.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Mina > Keane
Gomes > Davies

I feel like Mina & Keane are too similar in how they play, certainly more similar than Zouma, so only one of those two would get the nod in theory. Gomes for Davies is more-or-less a straight swap.

Thread is “where do they fit in” Davies and Keane would be the obvious positions.
