Or Sakamoto

Especially in a time we aren't playing with Wingers and have 2 x RWs sat on the bench along with Tavares who has tended to play there for us.
Click to expand...
Sakamoto is in the picture. We just don’t have 2 wide players available to play a formation that best accommodates him so he’s a casualty of a forced system changed.

5-3-2 is a well balanced system for the squad of players we have available atm.

Ashley Cain was an unbelievable athlete when I used to run with him back in the day. Never seen anyone like him, he was a machine even when he was like 14. Was so impressive to watch him in the 100m sprints.
Won pretty much every race bar one. Was a long time ago but I think when he was 14/15 he was running 100m in something like 9.7 seconds

Think i prefer this to the Sorba Thomas rumour and i don't think he'd have been bad either.

Looks like his final ball needs work, few times there where a simple pass would have lead to a goal and he shoots instead. Looks exciting on the ball though. We really need players willing to take a man on.

Started off the season well but lost place due to injuries.

The problem with Scottish players is other than 2 sides that would comfortably play in the Championship he wouldn't come up against many good sides. And he plays for one of them.

He added the experience actually led to him being number one in 100m and 200m in Great Britain as a junior, running 100m in 10.8 seconds

The world record time when Ashley Cain was 14/15 was 9.77 seconds so I guess he was actually the fastest man on the planet at the time

Rabbi Matondo - Most Played Positions

See all the career stats for each position Rabbi Matondo has played in, along with his rating for each position and preferred foot.

He's pretty versatile. Which is why we're probably looking at bringing him in.

Matonda is right footed, even though he plays off the left. Maybe we plan to have him as cover for either wing.

Indeed i recall Oggy saying he was surprised we had bought Vik whilst letting Biamou go. He would have kept Biamou over Vik. That didn’t age well.

If this does happen then it's a back 4 i guess

he needs space to run into and doesn't have the trickery to play in a 3 as part a of a 3-4-3

I thought about him. Some of these being named are slightly before my time.
Gillespie would’ve been the one I’d have loved to see play…just cos I remember him at Liverpool. He looked class.

A versatile winger is great, means we can go back to 433 and try Wright in the middle with cover on both wings.

I like Matondo, think he's a good player from when I've seen his highlights.

Do not understand this signing. We had 3 wingers on the bench last night and another 2 injured , where is he suppose to fit?

I think he can play across the front 3 from my understanding, Wright isn't going to be up to speed any time soon and if we are moving back to one upfront the only rw we have is saka (and tavares who's not getting a look in) Lampard loves wingers.

Personally see Fabio as a striker. Raphael is a develop project so won’t start. This lad has experience and therefore would be starting on either wing and provide cover for both. Might even push Sakamoto out
