    Sandro Tonali

    It works perfectly. 4231 with Cherki as the 10 and Rodri with Tonali deeper as a pair. Get the LB to bomb forward into the left attacking spot, Pep and Maresca have done this all the time.

    Interesting way he answered that. Doesnt really fill me with confidence though, I imagine he is off.

    9 | Erling Haaland - 2025/26

    You've said 2 separate questions. There is voting for the president clearly. But you must have a Madrid stakeholder with some backing already before you run in the election.

    10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

    In his 1st season in the league at 22 he became the leagues best creator in open play. If that's not adapting to the league then im gonna need a definition on what that even means.

    4 | Tijjani Reijnders - 2025/26

    Harsh game to judge for him and RAN, but they were one of the better players for their respective teams. Heavy substitutions, as is typical for a friendly, kinda ruin the game. Some great passes though, but its clear, he can't play a deeper role, Koeman clearly knows it too, you have to play...

    Playing well against Algeria. Really incisive passing as the 10.

    And thats fair, just didnt expect us to buy 2 attacking options as it requires more outgoings than expected (Savinho, Marmoush).

    Morgan Rogers

    Another attacking midfielder... Makes no sense lol. Every link I read makes me think they are either nonsense or the clear out will be more massive than I had expected.

    The Squad planning thread

    I think we are light in wide depth as well. I prefer Savinho staying AND another wide player coming in. If he goes, I dont know which 2 players we get. Apparently Diomande is very heavily linked to PSG and Liverpool, so I dont think that happens. Akliouche, Trincao? The options arent supe4...

    The Squad planning thread

    If you read everything I wrote I made it clear what sense I meant anti Maresca. Yes the fullbacks suit him perfectly well. But we have Doku as a starting touchline winger, who likes to drift inside lately. And the other starting winger, in the 4231 Maresca likes, is Semenyo, who also prefers...

    Im referring to 4231 with a fullback inverting to make a 3241 with 2 wide wingers. Currently, the backup to Doku and Semenyo is... Savinhio, and we want to sell him? I mean okay, but we needed a winger already, now I think we need 2. Which could happen, I just didnt think it would.

    The Squad planning thread

    I still struggle to see the logic in selling Savinho unless we buy much more players than I realized. Our current squad, strangely, is kind of anti-Maresca built. We are loaded with attacking fullbacks who are good at holding the width, with many many central attacking players including...

    Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

    I dont see us paying 120m pounds. Maybe 100m, 105m, but I dont think 120m. Which would be a shame.

    Players who might improve us

    People need to really watch a full 90 of Barcola. His dribbling is average, im almost kean to say below average. And as others said, his finishing is poor given his elite speed and running capabilities. If we want our winger to drift inside and behind for goal scoring opportunities... Semenyo...

    Players who might improve us

    I guess I didnt understand your central premise, it seemed like you didnt want to sign a winger if we sold Savinho. Cherki, is our 10, so again, you can play him RW but its fake depth, like you did with Semenyo.

    Players who might improve us

    So you want Doku LW, but his backup Semenyo is also our starting RW and backup ST as well... Do you not see the problem with this? There is no depth there. I need people to think about this in a simple way, if any 1 player gets injured, are we fucked? If yes, we messed up squad planning...

    Morgan Rogers

    He's Marmoush, but we want want Marmoush apparently, so why do we want Rogers?

    The Squad planning thread

    Is Rogers any different from or better than Marmoush? I don't see it, and the numbers dont show it either, even with Villa playing against teams who don't low block themselves as much as against us.

    The Squad planning thread

    Who are the current out and out wide wingers? Doku and Savio? Maybe Semenyo but I feel that doesnt utilize him as well. That was already not enough wide 1v1 wingers. The squad hasn't been made for it.
