    Well Lange is in charge of recruitment, and if has spent millions on rubbish players he should be sacked like Pitarch was before him.

    Digne and Targett's situations aren't comparable though. Digne left Everton after falling out with the manager after 6 months, Targett left a week after we signed a better player in his position. What are we not allowed to improve the squad? Will Nakamba leave in a huff if we sign a new DM?

    I'm sure he did argue his point for the 6 months Rafa was at the club.
  4. duke313
    Rafa and Digne had a row over style of play, not really the same is it?
  5. duke313
    He's 26, he'll be finished in a few more years lol

    That's the recruitment teams fault then for not bringing in these types of players in January.

    Doesn't help that these wide players spend more time on the injury table than the training pitch?
  8. duke313
    The exact reason he was right to be shipped out (although maybe not to strengthen Newcastle), weak mind mentality. PLayers should want to fight for their place in the starting XI, not give up the first opportunity they get.

    So, we need to return to tight and narrow block. That’s sorted then.

    I would start Hause beside Mings this weekend, and play Chambers alongside Luiz, with Ramsey in front of them.
  11. duke313
    On his own Luiz hasn't looked great as a DM, but if he had another DM beside him like Nakamba or even Chambers for now, he could operate as more of a deep playmaker rather than an out and out DM, Nakamba/Chambers as the ball winning DM type. Would allow Ramsey to play as the Box to Box type of the 3.

    They do, but they still drift out wide when the ball is at either side to link up with the full backs, or at least they should. Salah and Mane both cut in towards goal on their stronger foot.
  13. duke313
    Coutinho and Buendia?
  14. duke313
    I like the sound of that, would be more of a 4231
  15. duke313
    I understand what you mean, the problem with the top formation is that Buendia and Bailey would be expected to defend like full backs when not in possession, which presents the same issue you've mentioned with players in positions they aren't strongest.
  16. duke313
    I think he needs to modify the system, at least until he is able to get the players in that he wants.
  17. duke313
    Surely there is a time and place for cameos for young players? Ideally, not when we have only 1 win in 5 games and out of form.
  18. duke313
    To convince him to stay. The Club obviously rate him highly and don't want him to run his contract down. But I agree, he hasn't looked that impressive apart from a few moments, and he is still very young. If I was Sanson though i'd be extremely annoyed that an 18 year old kid is getting more minutes just to appease his agent.

    Doesn't bode well if this is true, has SG lost the dressing room already?
  20. duke313
    I don't think his salary will be Barcelona's concern whoever he signs for permanently.
  21. duke313
    It's his second red of the season, which I think is why the extra game ban.
  22. duke313
    I'd still play Chambers at DM, Mings and Hause at the back.
  23. duke313
    Who's getting dropped? McGinn or Luiz? Or both?
  24. duke313
    3 at the back would help with the full backs going forward, the left and right sided defenders can help cover those positions. The middle defender can be a sort of hybrid role with Chambers comfortable in defense and DM
  25. duke313
    Is Konsa still suspended for Watford? I'd like to see Chambers play in DM, so he can move into a back 3 when defending, and into midfield when in possession.
