For me personally, I’d have him as a 10. Forget wasting his energy on defensive duties and just let him roam around and pick up pockets of space. It would also contribute to us being a lot better defensively, as him and McAleny have no interest in tracking back which is fine when the midfield 3 are good enough.

Give him a free role in the middle so he can run at the centre of defence and get in the box where he can do more damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opposition aren't much fussed about our midfield so the can triple up on Bambi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archiecat Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He can't shoot, his crosses are poor and he has no end product 50% of the time. He is another Nepo or a Branger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlemoor Lad Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Cutting in from the wing but in all honesty, I trust him to do whatever he chooses, Shame we haven't got 10 of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I found myself completely infuriated with him on Tuesday along with a few others. Does all the hard work for his chance then opts not to put his laces through it. He swanned round the pitch with what I can only summise, zero defensive responsibility. He's not a centre forward as he can't play with his back to goal. If we play him no. 10 I'm not sure we can play Mcaleny as well as he doesn't offer anything defensively or press from the front. I'd play him right wing as that's where he has been most successful and like Adams alluded to in his interview, remind him not to switch off and track back as well.

Can see Adams getting annoyed with him in a couple of games times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperKeeper Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 In previous matches he's done a good job of tracking back and helping out the right back. Now we've got a decent right back it's tempting to move him inside, but I think it's harder for teams to double up on him if he's played wide. He drives into the box often enough, so it would be good to see him shoot earlier or look for a foul at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyt84 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Get him out on the right running at the fullback with Nicky Adams overlapping. Him being out wide will create more space in the middle and stop them doubling up on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
