Not sure where all this three at the back shizzle is coming from! Puel seems to like a back four, with the two full backs overlapping covered by one of the centre mids dropping in. He’s just not had the fullbacks to implement this. Now he has Pereira he won’t be fvching around with Albrighton at least! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are associating 3 at the back with wing-backs because of O'Neill's team, but you're right, Puel's system has 2 holding mids as cover and 2 CBs.

Popular Post TaggertvsWise Posted 8 June 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 8 June 2018 (edited) Well all I will say is if this comes off and we start the season with a back 3 of Maguire, Evans & Gibson then I will take some credit for the leg work I put in last year wooing him round the swimming pool of my holiday complex. €10 well spent.

His willingness to defend would give the full-back licence to roam. Especially in a 4-4-2 Edited 8 June 2018 by TrentFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in a 4-4-2 So long as he has support from the CB's so he doesn't have to get sent off again, and he's been practicing crossing from the right again, too...

Gibson has a very solid presence on the ball, very low panic level. He is not as good as Drago in the air but the two are close in ability.

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 9 June 2018 Share Posted 9 June 2018 Gibson makes his presence known, to the opposition. Much as I like Drag., I would prefer Ben Gibson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breadandcheese Posted 27 July 2018 Share Posted 27 July 2018 I'd be very happy if we buy Ben Gibson. Our scouts obviously rate him as we were after him last summer. It'd be a good piece of business if we can get him for £12m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edingleyfox Posted 27 July 2018 Share Posted 27 July 2018 We probably need another centre back as Dragovic seems out of the picture so Gibson/Mawson would be good.However they are strongly linked with Southampton/Burnley and I don't think we can assume they would come running to us - particularly if they see a likely exodus of our best players. If only we could get another quality CB and keep Harry as well - of course we all know that any new CB will be looked on as lining up a replacement and just add to speculation.
