HoustonFox Posted 7 July 2017 Share Posted 7 July 2017 Just now, foxfanazer said: I like Fuchs but I'm desperate to see Chilwell develop into our permanent left back I think this will be a transition year at the LB slot. I can see Fuchs starting the season but there being more rotation and maybe some more formation changes. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Chilly develop into a left mid as he is still pretty naive defensively (got shredded a few times in the U21s tournie). I see him more like a Bale like LB or maybe like a Marcos Alonso in more reality. Attacking is better than defending and he pops up with runs and goals. Fuchs is a very good defender. Depends what happens on the wings. If we keep Riyad, then Marc at LM can help Chilly more by covering. If it's Marc to RM (if Riyad goes) and Gray on the left, then we need a more defensive LB as Demarai isn't the most disciplined (same if Lawrence gets a go I think). Back on topic so this doesn't get locked... Didn't evens just sign a new contract? Do we really need him? I think we will play 4 at the back still with 3/5 as a plan B. Huth, then Maguire, with Benny and Wes when fit as back ups / rotating. 352 would be Wes, Harry, Bobby with Yohan as #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is obsessed with this 2 players for each position malarkey. Sven was, it nornallly just means we end up with too many players and a load of squad discontent. The opposite of what won us the league True but on the other hand we were very fortunate not to pick up any serious injuries to key players that season.

gurru991 Posted 7 July 2017 Share Posted 7 July 2017 I don't believe that Benny is a Premier league quality CB and I honestly believe that Morgan has lost a step. I think we need Evans or Gibson to give us three first choice CB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972 Fox Posted 7 July 2017 Share Posted 7 July 2017 FFS saw this topic was hot and thought something was happening with Evans. Would love us to sign him as I rate him very highly and think he would be a really good fit for us. Any actual news on us getting him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I realised we played Jeff Schlupp there.. So I guess it could work? If we ever go back to that formation, I'd take Schlupp over anyone on our books for that LWB position.

Course we wouldn't but its getting a bit monotonous every fuching player we're linked to is followed by an Everton link for the same player. Unless they're doing it with every club and we're just not aware of it. At the end of the day they can't buy every f***ing player on the market!

I'm assuming nothing, could well be paper bollox, but the "paper bollox" that reports our interest in a player is often followed by a link with Everton for the same player.

hejammy Posted 8 July 2017 Share Posted 8 July 2017 13 hours ago, elvisfmcfly said: Why would we start Simpson now as a Cb? Barmy! Huth would still be first on the team sheet,too many " football managers" obsessed with Rcb Cb and Lcb The reason for Simpson is simply because over the last 2 seasons he has probably been our most consistent player. The amount of times he's actually come onto a more central defensive position to cover Morgan's lack of pace / spacial awareness shows that he could be quite good as part of a back 3. Huth simply does not have the pace needed now to be a decent CB in a back 3. If the wingback are caught out of position we need them to be able to cover and you need some pace for that.

Moving over to cover and actually playing the position are 2 very different things,also with 2 other CBS surely we can rely on them for pace,all I know is without Huth our defence is shite,look at benaloune,when he plays with Huth he actually looks a good player without him there he's garbage.
