everyone of them is just a perfect diagonal ball to Richarlison and Digne and I'm here to witness it.

He’s played a lot less games as well. Watching Thiago do absolutely nothing tonight brings into focus how good this guy is. One of the best playmakers in world football.

James is the unknown X factor for me. The back 4 when we play Holgate and Godfrey won’t let many in. DCL and Richarlison can both score when given chances. We’ve kept up decent form despite Allan and James both missing or unfit for large periods. If James gets into the form he started the season in though, and stays in it, then all bets might be off as to what we can do because if we’re only ever conceding a maximum of one per game and he’s laying on 3 or 4 gilt edged chances every match, and gets back to scoring down his elf, then we could be boosting our form at just the right time.

I think if we do go with the new setup were just missing one player in midfield on James' wavelength.

I wonder if this setup may bring the best out of James...

Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
James Doucoure Allan Digne
DCL Richarlison
​

Gives James Digne on the left and two targets up front...while still having the centre midfield protection.

We can’t go with the new set up. No team ever wins a top league with a setup like this. High line or bust I always say.

On a more serious note...who would be good to add to the midfield? Anyone realistic who stands out?

The question is, who would you drop and replace from that midfield?

Enjoyed this from the athletic:

‘Using Statsbomb data (via FBref), Rodriguez makes one goal-creating action — which includes the two offensive actions made, prior to a goal being scored (eg passes, dribbles, drawing fouls) — per 90 minutes. That rate of goal involvement places him as the top player in the Premier League, and in the top 10 across the five biggest European domestic leagues.’

Ronaldo knew he was in safe hands. Knew who he gave it to and wherever he ran the ball would end up in front of him.

They divided the wrong numbers for the GPG... surely they can see that 10 goals per game is wrong

Very creative but would get overrun in midfield.

James is worth 3 a game you’re right. But Thiago worth 10?... I guess he does “dominate the midfield” or whatever that means
