Matchday discussion

Give us a chance Preed, we are not all sitting at home waiting for your next post keyboards at the ready

I’ll answer. Yes I think we can. What? A cup maybe. I agree to go for the title the defence needs to tighten up but to be honest I think it maybe more that we need that 1 player in there that holds the backbone together. A sort of Roy Keane type personality. that’s why
I wanted to keep Hojbjerg, I thought he was perfect to bring in on those games to Tay me steady the ship and give everyone a kick up the backside or a a calming voice

 

I expected one rose coloured.we need more than Hojbjerg to add backbone.letshope city play their reserves in the next round of the cup although we will probably make 10 changes.

 

Well that was a strange one. Let’s be honest, if Werner had an ounce of quality or composure, we would have been way out of sight by half time. The very first thing we need to do in January is sign Mitoma and send Werner back.

The next thing we need to do in January is sign a LB. Udogie needs way more time to become the world class LB he has the ability to be and the pressure and expectations on him after one season are too high for him to sustain week in and week out.

Romero is not a world class CB in the premier league, he needs to be moved to become the holding midfielder we desperately need. We could then give Radu a run with VDV (who we will be lucky to keep based on his current wage, our performances and just how good he usually is). Romeros aggression and calmness on the ball make him perfect for DFM. His lack of communication, aerial domination and overall leadership make him an average CB at best in the league.

 

Udogie is a strange one. He started last season on fire and looked to be amazing. But his attacking seems to have dropped off. Maybe it was down to combining with son on the left , hope he gets back to what he was although spence has potential

 

I have always thought Romero is worth a try in defensive midfield but don’t expect it to even be tried as this is way out of the box thinking for Ange.At least he won’t cost us a goal nearly every game
