Brennan Johnson

Re: Brennan Johnson

He was all over the place against Atletico and it was interesting watching his movement. I never had him down as a Man City player, but that is the genius of Pep.

that's left footed, ball playing centre backs for you, they are like rocking horse shit at the moment.
everyone who wants to play out from the back wants one, in a back 4 or especially a back 3.
it's a pity none of our up and coming centre backs are left footed (I don't think anyway) as that would make them an attractive prospect for bigger clubs.

Re: Brennan Johnson

I'm posting my opinion too, and modern football has changed the roles of players. Positions are no longer set in stone and the game is more fluid, so flexibility is a great asset.

Yes, I understand that it was your opinion, you post to your hearts content pal, you do you etc. I just countered with a different opinion, as we do.

Anyway, it's only banter as we all know Wilson will be starting on right, with Morrell next to Allen in midfield

Re: Brennan Johnson

Ampadu is a positive headache isn't he..

I thought we looked better against the Czech Republic when he came on in midfield, and Rodon looked happier too not having players coming directly on to him.

Morrell depresses me. And I don't use "depression" lightly either, I genuinely feel sad when the name pops up. Surely we have better?or players we can bring through and develop in the middle? I can still see colwills run now, and Morrell turns and passes backwards. I was still swearing later that night getting in the van to go to work :hehe:

The trouble is we are always going to be a few players short of being a top team, so there has to be some compromises. Midfield is probably our weakest area, and we need to protect the defence, as they can get a bit flustered when the opposition come through the middle.

I appreciate we will have less than others, but there has to be better than him.

That's why I proposed putting Ampadu there as he can play as a versatile CDM dropping deep if required. On the negative side it messes with our current defensive line-up, hence the conundrum. Ramsey can play there, but I prefer him more advanced alongside James, Bale & Johnson, which would be an excellent offensive unit at this level.

Re: Brennan Johnson

I'd like to see Sorba Thomas playing.
Swap Neco for Robert's then add Thomas.

Why? Roberts is a very good player and can defend.

All this talk of changing formation is baffling. The current formation suits so many of our best players, it would be madness to change it. The 4 at the back formations don't seem to suit us at all.

Discussion is the fuel that keeps these boards running.

Sorry if I missed it, where did Wash DC mention a formation swap?

trouble is they're all right footed.
out of any of them I think Neco is bmthe best equipped to play on the left.
ideally we would clone Neco and have him on both flanks

I'm not a fan of Roberts at all.
He's had some howlers for Wales IMO.
It's not the Jack thing, I never liked Neil Taylor either but a massive fan of Ben Davies.

That would be epic.
We need to get the guy that cloned Dolly the sheep on board at the WFA.
