Matt Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 11 hours ago, MikeO said: Steady on there; he's gone from being a waste of space to what you'd minimally expect from someone you spent £30m odd on, he's been decent (which is the least we should be expecting of him) but hardly pulling up trees. Agreed. Always thought he was a cracking player, potentially at least, but he needs to show this form for a full season after years of mediocrity.

Btay Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Fosse Captain said: Granted he’s finally playing well, but I think that’s mainly cos he’s running around a lot and brought energy to a pretty static midfield. He’s not controlling games. He’s not dominating midfield. He can do some decent attacking stuff and some decent defensive stuff. But nothing of particular note. Personally 5-3-2 works for me. And a powerful midfield of Douc, Onana and Gueye would be the way I’d go, in a 3 Allan / Davies get in too to rotate. (And Iwobi doesn’t get on the 10 either) I’ll stick my tin hat on … He’s the only who looks remotely close to creating anything for us… most progressive passer we have ( apart from Coady & Tarkowski switching play ). Play Onana, Iwobi & Gueye ( hopefully ). Vranny, Bailey and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onana must start. He looks like he wants to dictate games and control things, and with no striker that's what you need in midfield.

Yep. I’m just not sure if Myko is the right kind of full back for it though. Patterson will thrive as a wingback but I’m not sure Myko has the pace or dribbling to beat a man.

StevO Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I wouldn’t expect Frank to change it after putting the effort into getting the team used to it now. Maybe 433 against Fleetwood in the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever Iwobi plays, he needs to be able to get on the ball. That is one of the big benefits of him playing deeper at the moment is that he can do that. I want to see him given more freedom by playing further forward to but he needs to be fed the ball regularly. Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Onana would benefit from a similar instruction as well because you can see his power adding another dimension in attack, albeit again, needing to start from a deeper position.

Popular Post badaids Posted August 31, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 He was terrible for so long, and took so much stick, including me, I’m so happy he is producing for us. It’s great to hear the fans singing his name. It looks like a mix of confidence from the gaffer and a defined role in the team that fits his skill set is working wonders. And you can start to see Onana building a link with him. He wasn’t at his best in the second half but Leeds don’t give you an inch or a second to think. It’s mad that he’s gone from being public enemy number one that most would have loved to get rid of for 10 mil to our best player.

Pickford Patterson Tarkowski Coady Mykolenko Gueye Onana Gordon Iwobi Gray/Mcneil Maupay As much as I agree with that line up, they are both the same. That’s just without the ball and with the ball.
