    But Pickford can/is allowed to distribute long

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Yeah I agree, basically just taking responsibility. Thing is, I understand that a young player learning a new league will make mistakes and I'm totally fine with that as he will learn from this and be stronger in the long run (hopefully). It was like Maddison giving the ball away last Thursday...

    It was weird, though... Vicario had his hands on Bergvall's chin, in a grip. I liked Bentancur's approach better, where it's a bit more reasonable but I don't know, I guess I feel that Vicario can do things like that if he's playing impeccably himself, but he's not.

    Absolutely... not sure when we'll see another Bale again though.

    Cristian Romero

    It is true, a few midfielders momentarily switch off in that exact moment that Romero gets closed down. He still has the keeper and the other CB as options though, although we all know Romero tries to beat the press by going forwards. Huge brainfart though for such a high-profile player.

    Cristian Romero

    I don't know why anyone is surprised by that clip of his mistake. He does this all the time, trying to draw players in to press him so he can pass around them. Usually it works out, but he's been making a lot of high-profile mistakes lately regarding this. Now, I suspect more players will try to...

    Yves Bissouma

    I thought Bissouma would be decent for us, but I was more impressed by Caicedo. Just seems like a different player here though. Only one good game against Man U earlier in the season... or was that last season... I don't even remember/care anymore.

    Destiny Udogie

    I'm fishing this thread from page 4 to say: what the hell is going on? I'm thinking it must be the system since so many players seem so disjointed, but I felt like Udogie was so bad yesterday. He was never on the same wavelength as anyone else: poor passes, defensively ineffectual. Spence is...

    Brennan Johnson

    When we first signed Johnson, this was my thinking as well. We went for the wrong Forest player IMO (wrong as in one is a better choice, for probably the same money).

    Archie Gray

    I think he needs more time to feel out playing DM/CM, but overall he did feel a bit too safe. Did make some good tackles and blocks though, but I felt our whole midfield was so lackluster.

    Wilson Odobert

    I like that he's direct. He takes defenders out of position and that's something we've been sorely lacking. Otherwise, teams just set up their lines of defenders in front of their goal which we never seem to break down.

    Lucas Bergvall

    I thought he was excellent, and there's definitely a case he could be MOTM. This is what we need in a midfield player: ability to pass, carry, defend, anticipate, join attacks, fight for aerial duels... He's like a proper box-to-box midfielder but with more guile. The way he beat not one, but...

    Djed Spence

    Was borderline MOTM for me again yesterday. Odobert getting a brace obviously has a huge impact on the outcome of the match so maybe he deserves it more, but it's so rare to see a defender win the ball so often. Not even going to ground or anything; it's just a standing tackle or nick and he...

    I think Ange is of the mentality that other teams should adjust to us, not the other way around. That only works if you're really good, which we're not (judging by results and match outcomes, and honestly, being a pain to watch at times).
  15. papaspur

    Guglielmo Vicario

    That's one of the best ways to beat a press: send it over, accurately, to a player in space. I do think Ange puts a lot of emphasis on keeping the ball on the ground but I remember Bentancur (I think) made a looping pass out of our box or thereabouts to try and relieve pressure. Too many times...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    I think Vicario played a few long balls towards the end of the match. I know there was the one dicey moment where he barely got the ball out to the right after being pressed, but yeah, Ange does seem more set on playing the same way despite how the opposition plays. I don't think the way he sets...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    I thought he was pretty awful yesterday, but I think he's one of the first players that need to be replaced. He and Bissouma just don't control matches consistently and is a large part of why our midfield is so poor. They can't pass well enough, they don't turn (I think they can, but they choose...

    Lucas Bergvall

    If we have another repeat performance of this season next season, I expect many of our good players will be looking for the exit.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    I'm thinking that having a little more genuine competition will help to push him further. Anyway, I'm glad to see him performing well

    Mathys Tel

    Right, this all makes sense. At the end of the day, I'm pretty delighted with this deal since I'm thinking the main way we as a club acquire top talent is by developing high-potential players ourselves since we can't just do a Chelsea or City. The financial power gap has been closing, but we're...
