Centre Midfield

[Billysgingham.]

Will Baines be the backup cm if Gomes is out?

Mate come on.

 

[hktoffee]

Yes, but there's a quality issue in midfield.

I said earlier that it MIGHT be a blessing in disguise in that it forces Silva's hand to change formations a little more.

Dave mate. I have sympathy on our manager. The board and dof should deliver signings. At this moment I think we are short in numbers in certain areas.

A cm like Doucoure and a senior cb will do.

No mate, he's the back up for Digne

 

[Ron Burgundy]

YAWN.

I do.

But he has what he's got. Up to him to make something out of those players and I expect him to experiment with formations a lot more.

Drinkwater went to Burnley on loan. I dont understand why we didn't go for him.

 

[Benedict]

Christ, what a thread.

Would you prefer someone starts a thread about urine?

 

[john jako]

Today showed how much of a god Gomes is.

 

[hktoffee]

I do.

But he has what he's got. Up to him to make something out of those players and I expect him to experiment with formations a lot more.

Drinkwater went to Burnley on loan. I dont understand why we didn't go for him.

I can see why we were looking to sign Zaha, Doucoure and Zouma. With those three in we would break the top 6. But they will cost something like £170m. Do we have that? Doubt it.

 

[Saaby]

This is going to be a real problem area this season.

Delph
Davies
Gbamin
Gomez
Schneiderlin

Gomez aside* that's looking very second rate.

Baningime cant get a squad number, so I dont suppose he's anywhere near an appearance.



*harsh on Gbamin, but taking this first appearance as evidence anyway.

You could see why Silva wanted another CM

You could see why Silva wanted another CM

Gueye is exceptional quality. A 9/10 player.

Gomez is the only other class player we have and he's not as consistent.

For me, a CM of two of any of them puts us right under pressure. We'll need to see more variation.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Would you prefer someone starts a thread about urine?

You what?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Tielemans is the exact sort of player we are missing imo

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Unfortunately our two preferred are very injury prone.

Gomes and Delph.

It is going to be a problem area, we won't build the consistency needed.

 

[roydo]

Drinkwater went to Burnley on loan. I dont understand why we didn't go for him.

Because the only club in for him for after about 18 months on the shelf was Burnley?

 

[Axlswhk]

I suggest play siggy deeper, Bernard as playmaker, Iwobi on the wings. I cannot imagine Davies and yummy in midfield next week.
