It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[KennyG]

Oshimen. Don’t care who is scarified, he will cook in this team.

 

[Dialog]

Not sure he’s a better dribbler than Foden or Bernardo.

He is a better dribbler than Foden that is for sure. Bernado, does not dribble anymore, it appears. Musiala dribbles to break defenses and get out tight spots. That is Musiala's Bread and Butter. Musiala attacks the defenders, he enters the 18 yard box, he wants it. That's his game. We get Musiala, low block issues are over!

bern hasn't dribbled for a long time, was holding a width on the right last season pretty mch

Squad could do with a refresh some players have won so much maybe they are not as motivated / hungry as they were once.

Agreed, this group have been unbelievable and given his historic moments but a rebuild is now required with younger and keen players who have that hunger to win stuff.

Get Savio and Olise.

Then we have them and Doku on the wings as options. We need dynamic wingers.

Give Bobb, Nunes and Grealish chances in the middle more, with Foden. Rotate KdB alot more, he should be used sparringly, he doesnt have the legs.

Get Guimaraes to help Rodri more. Kovacic and Lewis can be the back up.

Im no longer sure on Frimpong. I think I would prefer say an Olise, and just play wingers wide, Im not sure I want fullbacks wide.

Maybe just buy another good on the ball defensive right back or centre back, and move on from Walker.

4 signings is what we need. 1 defense, 1 midfield, 2 wingers. Reduce KdBs role, and move on from Walker and Bernie.

 

[Mad 4 It]

Sad to see it but KDB hasn’t been the same this season, he just can’t manage those lung busting runs

 

[RayCTID]

I am now fully on board in either bringing another LB and move Gvardiol central or bringing in another centre back. I am still not sure Branthwaite is the answer but someone similar to Akanji would be a good one.

Even though it's been a cracking season I agree with this.

But they just won the league

And were the better team against Madrid

 

[Tevez City]

We just need another 2 or 3 Sparks at the team

We have got to start shopping for Kev's replacement. Not going to happen this summer unless he decided he has achieved everything he wants to in his career.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Team refresh is definately required. Some players now having won it all need to be replaced

Not slagging any players off as they have contributed to immense achievements, but when it is time to change, its time to change

 

[robbieh]

For me the big questions surround what Walker, Alvarez, Grealish and Bernardo want to do.
Bernardo looks like he might need a new challenge. Walker wanted to leave last year. and Alvarez probably needs game time somewhere else.

Can Grealish become a midfielder?

Grealish has to be converted.

Doku is showing what happens when a dynamic winger learns the control that Grealish offers (Doku learned our system over time) but can also add the dynamism.

Grealish is 6ft, keeps the ball well, and is creative. Why cant he do a role in the middle?

Grealish does keep the ball well but he is not creative...not upto now at least. Pep has trusted Foden to move central so its clear that he doesnt think Grealish can at present or he would have tried it.

We do need an alternative and eventual replacement for KDB....it aint going to be Paquetta (which Im not too bothered about). Replacing beranrdo is going to be nigh on impossibe (finding a player with a similar skill set )......Knowing Pep however he will change the way the team play again...

The arrival of Savio is going to be interesting - whether he goes straight into the first team squad or gets loaned out and we will also have a similar situation with Echevari in January.......

The last few weeks have shown that pace against our defence is effective. To be sure, you can rely on Walker to mop up in corners of the field against his man, but isolate any of the others and it’s a different story. Unless we address that, then we’ll continue to be exposed.

 

[RayCTID]

I would still keep Grealish but I doubt he is going accept not being a regular.

How much would Van Der Ven be?!

Convert him back into a Villa player.
