I think Poch prefers Wanyama to Dier. That is why he is forcing him in the team when we do not need to holding midfielders. When Dembele is back im pretty sure it will Dier that makes way.
I can see them rotating tbh. Neither of them is suited to covering for Dembele in my opinion, but at the moment it is needs must. I still think Dier is better.
If he continues to play Janssen I also see it affecting HArry's game. Yes he can play deep and has a decent pass. But he is at his most effective at the point of the attack. We are negating what he brings to the team to force Janssen in.
Kane played as a #10 during his development years. IF we continue with both him and Janssen then he will eventually find his goalscoring form. It's early days, and I'm not 100% sold on the system yet, but if we can get Kane acclimatised to that role and crashing shots in from the edge of the box more often then he will do alright.
When Dembele comes back where is one of Dele, Eriksen and Lamela going to go if Kane is back in those positions.
We are in the Champs League, we need this sort of competition, it's a good thing. The running this squad are going to do this year is going to mean that those three and Son are all going to need rest periods.
I think its no co-incidence that Kane and Dier have looked average so far this season out of position. Whilst Wanyam and Janssen have had good starts.
Agreed, but even Kane himself has admitted he's not 100% on it yet. Still there is always going to be a period of time where they are learning the role.
I feel it has to be one or the other with both of them. Dier or Wanyama, Kane or Janssen. But not for the formation all over to get them all in.
I agree to a point. Certainly with regards to Dier and Wanyama, but the Kane-Janssen situation could bear fruit. Even if we don't go forwards with them playing together, we will at times need to play with them together. It's probably best to give them time together early on so that they learn eachother's game and so that Poch can assess the situation.
