Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 7 March 2025 Posted 7 March 2025 He has more class, ability, character and integrity than 90% of our other players but he is coming back off another longish injury, questionable what impact he could have.

Plenty of protection but actually a threatening team on a counter Poor Wilf Winks alongside Wilf instead of one the strikers and I think that's probably our best side, although I do think Kristensen is unlucky at times. 2 'number 8s' in Bilal and Facunda is our best bet of creating anything. I'd be amazed if Ricardo starts. But you could possibly play him alongside Wilf in the middle. 1

Personally if I was wilf I’d rather not have a partner who either goes missing completely, pretends to mark or gets the ball and gives it straight to opposition in a dangerous area. Always the option that while one wb bombs forwards the other tucks in next to him ala maresca Edited 7 March 2025 by Lambert09 1

It's where he plays for Morocco, too. Earlier in the season, Facundo was much more of a goal threat in the 10, both in terms of scoring and assisting. Edited 7 March 2025 by Sunbury Fox 1

The issue we have with 5atb is that we have to play a very negative 2/ a pair that cannot progress the ball. Playing Wilf on his own is absolutely mental though.

The complete opposite of Soumare for a 1/4 of the wage. If Soumare doesn’t play, how will he get his 10k steps in for the day? 1

I just used it to demonstrate that they would be further forward than wilf. I think both would help out defensively more than winks, skipp or soumare have all season 2

We currently play a 4 4 2 in effect, with Bilal up with Vardy. Watching us play a 6 3 1 formation v West Ham and still get caught out at the back suggests to me that playing a back 5 with 1 defensive minded midfielder would just be an absolute slaughter.
emmo1987 Posted 7 March 2025 Posted 7 March 2025 (edited) Just need Abdul back and we will be a lot better off Edited 7 March 2025 by emmo1987
Steve Earle Posted 7 March 2025 Posted 7 March 2025 (edited) Mads Woyo JJ Okoli Kristiansen Wilf Ricardo Facundo Bilal Mavs Pato I can’t bear the thought of seeing Faes, Coady or Vesty ever playing for us again. I realise I’m going to have to tolerate them all for several more years yet, but can’t wait to see Souttar & Nelson or Okoli next season. PS. I can really. In fact I can probably wait a few years before going again… Edited 8 March 2025 by Steve Earle 3

Bilal can play that role, Winks has been doggo, would ve similar to ndidi tielemens in my mins, would be worth a try and the only way you get facundo and bilal in the same team, unless you play a 4-4-1-1 Mads Ricardo. Coady. Okoli. Woyo Kacey. Ndidi. Bilal. Mavididi Facundo Daka/vardy 1
lcfc sheff Posted 7 March 2025 Posted 7 March 2025 I love the optimism but I’m afraid he’s as much good as a lame horse at this point. don’t shoot him though
Deeg67 Posted 8 March 2025 Posted 8 March 2025 Contrary to what some here may assume I think Ruud is smart enough to know Ricardo is part of any possible best 11. But I don't think he'll start him after he's been out so long.
