Good discussion and, to add, there are very few circumstances where floated balls are a good thing.

Excellent assessment here. His improvement has been stunning this season, especially in his tackling, tenacity and in-yer-face pressing. I'd like him to stay on his feet more and have to say that refs have assessed the (non-)fouls on him impressively.

I think there's something in what you say. Given the choice, I'd rather he didn't play there yet, but maybe a few years down the line. As you say, he certainly needs to cut out the diving/rolling. But in this extended run in the team, what's really stood out (so you're not changing my view) is...

This comment seems to be said after each appearance

He's clearly much better there, but needs must, and we don't have too many wide attacking options at present. When/if Enciso, Welbeck and Fati are back up and running, there's going to be a lot of competition for just two attacking central positions. Note also that Mitoma and Adingra are off for...

That performance last night was a rival for the City game as his best for us. He was so much more aggressive, was instrumental in pressing and winning the ball back on several occasions, and was brilliant at finding space.

Rumours Enciso back in Dec, probably later in the month

That's a good point about Lamptey playing higher up (I think he's more suited to RWB than RB anyway, but RDZ has also played him as a RW) . But there's a possibility that he's going to AFCON too. As to the left, think we'll see Enciso, Fati and, possibly, Joao Pedro covering Mitoma while all...

I'll make the point that I've made previously, and nothing has changed on this front. Irrespective of whether posters think that FB is better suited to going out on loan or playing as a 'number 10'/ACM, FB will stay in the squad and be used in the right attacking role this season. We're short...

Yes, he seemed well up for it, and did everything he could to get the ball. It was the perfect time to bring him on in that position though. My thoughts are far more about how much opportunity he'll have to play there. Once Julio gets back, that will be more limited, but until then there's a...

This is a good point. I think he'd probably work better with Lamptey bombing down the line from RB in terms of our attacking threat. What that does to our defence, on the other hand, is a different question. I can see why a replica of Pervis at RB appeals but, returning to my previous point...

Thanks for having a go. I'm not convinced, but let me elaborate what was on my mind, and I didn't fully express. I'm thinking of those that will get minutes this season in all competitions. We've got loads of 'number 10s' and although some might quibble about who plays there, this includes...

I might have nailed it. Only the going down the line can be worked on in training. RDZ and his coaching team might work wonders, but I don't think they'll be able to find a way for Facundo to have devastating pace.

Can I use this thread bump to make a plea? The NSC consensus is that Buonanotte's best position is a 'number 10'. Presumably because he's from Argentina. Argentina's current number 10 and WC winning captain plays on the right. Brighton's past number 10 from Argentina -- and now Liverpool's...

When playing on the right, Facundo needs to work out how to go on the outside. I've only seen him cut in. Needs some variety, because that keeps defenders guessing. Solly and Kaoru can go either way, and that in part explains their effectiveness. I'm sure this is something the coaching team will...

Agree on the behind the striker comment, but disagree on the right. Solly was devastating and Enciso looked dangerous at that stage. When Solly went off and Enciso moved to the right, his perfomance dropped substantially. He's much better on the left than the right, that's where his best...

Given RDZ has stated they're both unlikely to play this season, I won't be making that assumption. Ditto with Lamptey.

Spot on, but I'd add the point made by @est.83: it's doubtful that a Championship loan will work for young SA talent

It'll return to a multiple of them, and then we can all carry on as normal :jester:
