blabyboy Posted 24 July 2021 Share Posted 24 July 2021 That list doesn't go back far enough but.... Surely it was the ideal number for Septimus Smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pray Rodgers plays to his strengths for a whole season and doesn't play 3 at the back. Could make a mockery of England's fans love affair with Jack Grealish if so. Hopefully a few more left footed belters too. Fans love direct players- for all the showboating, neat flicks etc, a player who just runs at the opposition always gets the crowd onside. Lower level, of course, but there was a reason why Lloyd Dyer was so popular- he and Barnes got the fans interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyer pace was electric, knock it by the defender and just go, definitely got fans out of the chair. Always a regret he didn't stay on for our first season back in the Prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sowah is one of the quickest players in Belgium last season, that'll be very welcome here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Farley Posted 25 July 2021 Share Posted 25 July 2021 Sorry if this has been covered already but what’s the likelihood of him being ready to go at the start of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only indicator will be the friendlies. If he doesn’t make the squad for the community shield then we will know we will have to be patient. I think him being available could be crucial to how we set up. But the early indication is that Brendan is preparing for a return of 4 at the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got hammered last year with teams knocking balls out wide into the corners and not dealing with balls in the box. It's good that we have very good and pacey fullbacks and wingers (aside from right wing but Ricky doesn't mind going their) as with a back 4 we'll need that.

Think we will be playing a back three against Man. City, but we are so much better as a four. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SexyGammonFox Posted 6 August 2021 Share Posted 6 August 2021 1 hour ago, Koke said: 20 goals this season. He's well capable. He may have come fairly close last season if he hadn't got injured. His finishing has come on leaps and bounds last 18 months, he doesn't snatch at shots like he used to, just picks his spot and strokes it in a lot more now. I'm just slightly worried how the formation is going to accommodate him now we have 3 strikers who will expect to play regularly, and no obvious right sided player to complement him. He has to play though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
