When I saw the lineup v Crystal Palace I really thought here we go and then he was started as right wing back in some sort of brick tosser football chess.

He should be central midfielder always next to Palhinha. fudge the others off. Bergvall and Maddison are the only central midfielders I have time for. Bissouma is a poor disciplined player who offers much and delivers inconsistency. Sarr is a jack of all trades that needs to find his master profession or he can go. Gallagher was a clusterfudge of a signing so far.

He really does. But also possibly at CB if we stick with a back 3 and don't have Romero, Danso and VdV all available.

Our best ball playing CB after Romero and for sure we need to be able to keep and progress the ball.

Could not agree more on all points.

But when we play with a back 3 central midfield looks even more flimsy for some reason.
 
I just don't fudging get it.
SET them up in the system which makes the most sense to get the best out of THEM, keep it SIMPLE, and stop pyuting square fu cking pegs in round fu cking holes!!!!!!!!
It did NOT need three games to figure that out.

Honestly you’d think that would be what they taught them on day one of football management school.
 
Thread (and player) deserves a bump. Another good (though for me not spectacular) performance from him.

Said before that he seems to just deal with every challenge thrown his way. Massively impressed with him again how he's dealt with everything in that last couple of weeks. Unflusteres, unphased, composed and both quality and effort on show.
 
He does seem to be settling in as a player who feels at home in the team. Having worked with kids at the top level they can take time to show how well they can play. I know he has been in and around the Team for a while but his overall game against Pool was very good. IMO

That seems to be his MO. He’s very much a Vertonghen-style player in that regard.
 
I don't know if anyone else has noticed (or maybe I'm imagining it) but over the last few games it looks to me like he's incharge, or taken charge, of tell players what to do at attacking corners. It looked like he was telling the experienced players what we should be doing or trying.
