Si thanks for all this. You asked for ideas for an article and I have one.
Do you think TT has rotated forwards too much? - i.e. they have not built up the understanding necessary to function effectively.
Mase has been playing almost as a forward rather than a number 8 and my particular concern is Kai - who, of the forwards, is the stand-out player from a technical viewpoint. We have played him as a 9/false 9 most of the season. He was heralded as a 10 but 10s are rare in the EPL. His finishing is still a bit loose to be a genuine 9 but his ability to find space and good positions is excellent in my view. The one thing I am sure of is that Kai needs to be a regular first team pick.
Has TT tried to please all his forwards by giving them game time - which has led to possibly excessive rotation? How do we fit Kai into the team? Who should go - Werner/Ziyech/Pulisic (God I am fed up seeing him drag simple finishes wide of the left hand post!)? Your thoughts would be appreciated (when you have time of course!) Thx.
Hi Si, so have you seen anything on a new owner transfer budget, ie what the club will try and spend on players this window
Nothing yet mate.
