It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Whilst very good, and excluding haaland it feels one paced. If we lost gabby and raz, i do think we need some new wheels on the wing

Alvarez is quick, not raz quick but i'd definitely put him in the Jesus bracket.

They’ll have to over pay (not under pay) to get him now theyve missed CL. Their position is now more desperate and teams should be able to exploit that (as long as the player still wants to go there)

Very disappointing if we let Jesus go. We have such a small squad even with Haaland and Alvarez added. He brings so much to the team too, the work rate and chasing down. Be gutted to see him doing that for Arsenal, especially against us.

Alvarez works just as hard and can finish. It’s a upgrade imho

2 CBs, one to engage, one to drop off, CDM (it’s no coincidence that Rodri is 6’4”) to front screen their forward and a tucked in full back as an auxiliary CDM.

I think you've got it slightly the wrong way round. We don't do this, instead the DM latches onto their target man, allowing both CBs to drop deep to mop up or track runners.

That was the big lesson from the Everton 4-0. Before then we did it as you said, 1 CB would engage, the other would drop off, but after that massacre where they'd have Davies, Barkley and Lookman running after Lukaku's flick ons against just 1 CB, Pep changed it so Fern would compete for long balls and allow both CBs to drop off.

What a weird post. I don't remember ever interacting with you, and since you were telling me to manage my expectations, I politely told you that I could manage them myself. Rest of my post seems perfectly fine. Either way, welcome to my ignore list.

your on the top and have been for some time

It’s like a sandwich though, CDM front screening and CB screening from behind, unless there are 2 forwards.

Then, even if the forward does get the flick on, the other CB or full back mops up.

As long as its not the last man losing it, engage CB or DM lol. .

His cross yesterday was like a kiss from a rose too.

He's never gonna survive unless he gets a little crazy when collecting medals
