Joshua Kimmich

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Frimpong would be great as a attacking wing-back, which means Pep can get extra man in the attack.

Generally knowing how Pep loves to invert fullbacks and does not want get attacking wingbacks then Kimmich would make most sense.

Everything depends on how Pep will want to set-up, if the rumored 3-5-2 formation is real, then Frimpong would make sense.

wheres this?

Interesting. Dont see it at all myself.

Pep probably will take a inspiration from Boston Celtics and will add some kind of high pick n roll tactic /s

3-5-2 isn’t that far away from 3-2-2-3 that we play at times at the moment.

It’d just mean slightly different positioning of the wider players.

agreed and the system needs a change anyway it would seem now? Getting harder and harder for the lads to find space etc as the opposition tend to sit deeper, double up in the middle of the park as they know we are going to have the CB or FB stepping into midfield so a system change again will be in Peps thinking

 

[Keeper!]

He would 100% have to take a pay cut on his current terms

And rightly so with his recent form, he is not in a very strong bargaining position.

We tweak it every game. The difference recently is that Pep has used 4 proper defenders. Frimpong would be a move away from that.

I don’t think the formation would be the biggest issue, it’d be whether Pep thinks Frimpong’s added attacking threat outweighs his defensive limitations.

3-5-2 is not a wing back formation.5-3-2 would be wing backs but i cant see pep using that.
