Townsend as Defensive Central Midfielder

[MACCA75]

Delph or Gbamin would probably be tried first.
Interesting to see how Delph responds to Frank, especially as Franks medal cabinet is much bigger than that charlatan.

Delph is finished for the season

 

[Clarky cat]

Townsend‘s new position on a Saturday will likely be sat in his front room in a comfortable armchair

 

[4737carlin]

No, his best attributes are attacking, crossing balls, the odd goal, have seen nothing in his game to say DM

 

[Armaghtoffee]

His one strength is crossing the ball and he won’t get much chance to do that from CDM.

 

[hallamblue]

Impact sub is the role he was brought to the club for, he pretty much said that himself, and that will be his role.

 

[Fansince1988]

No way Gray gets dropped, been our most threatening player all year.

Gray has been our most constant performer this season, I wouldn’t be happy if he was dropped.

 

[degsy]

I'd rather try Coleman in there.

Both decent, if unproven shouts...or maybe Stones or even Godfrey lol

It’s a downside of these signings which excited me so much yesterday, how do we play them all

Gray and Gordon have earned their playing time, they’ve been the only two worth a damn. They’re especially good together, they have a nice little rapport developing.

At least one of DCL Rich VdB Alli Gray Gordon has to sit.

Townsend Gomes ElG don’t sniff action.

Douc or Allan? One sits, probably Allan.

Meanwhile we’ve got five CBs, each with a major flaw, and one fullback who is 3x as old as the other two combined

We'll finally have a bench that can have an impact.

Gomes is the big loser. Can't see him playing now or even getting on as a sub unless there are dire injuries.

 

[arbok]

He's not really someone who is that great at reading the play and dictating the tempo.

As a winger I just don't see him translating into CM or DM.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

his attacking attributes are his main positive with a minor in workrate, not the other way around like Doucoure for instance. This seems like a little too far out of the box to me.

 

[Mr K.Dilkington]

Wut

 

[ilikecheese]

We could try Mina in goal too. He's a big unit. Would command his box. ?

 

[matty1878]

Wut

exactly it’s like saying stick coleman in goal

we’re do people get these things from

 

[Stephenlloyd]

He played well in a midfield 3 in the second half at Wolves. He wasn’t playing in the 6, but playing him more central isn’t a terrible idea.

Personally I think he’s been terrible in this behind the striker number 10 role. He should be a squad player from now on coming off the bench. He’s behind Richarlison, gray and Gordon as wide options. I even think El Ghazi may offer more.
