Victor Torp (7 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

People constantly criticising his stamina. He's still quite new to English football, he missed most of pre-season with an injury, and hasn't had a decent run of games yet. Far too soon to assume he can't be a contributor over 90 minutes.

I hope you're right because I still think stamina is an issue but it's clear he's got a lot to offer.

Torp and EMC are the players I could see most improving in Lampard’s 433

Torp is capable of scoring a lot of goals in the right system. Strikes the ball better than any Cov player for a long time.

I expected us to play a lot more that way, balls into late arriving midfielders but we haven't, though you might argue that Rudoni scored such a goal at the weekend

Rudi is certainly capable of scoring goals.

A new manager needs to play to our strengths and that is simply attacking and scoring goals.

Sheaf's defensive output way down. Very surprised by Torp's defensive output.

Eccles showing himself as one of the best midfielders in the league (League Two apparently).

Also Browne shows as very poor in that chart, despite the meltdown over him not signing.

No shit on the last point. I’m glad we didn’t sign and he hasn’t started life at Sunderland particularly well. We should be aiming for better.

Browne is absolutely no better than what we have and would have been a waste of a signing, people only wanted him because of his age!

Where is Hamer on that graph?

Where is Hamer on that graph?

He has been playing as an attacking midfielder rather than a central/defensive midfielder which that chart shows.

Knew Tanaka would be strong in this league.

So much better than Madsen. We should be on the recruitment team.

Reread the Viveash article that talks about Torpand says he's specifically an 8 and not 6 or 10. Play him in his best position and get the best out of him or is that too simple?

Well yeah. Same with Rudoni who's not really a 10 either.

Keep putting Torp on as a 6 in CDM and he's different to when he has more of a free reign.

 

[SBT]

See I reckon that he’s maybe an 8 or a 9

Maybe even 9 and a half in four beers time.

I would chuck Eccles in the mix as well.

That shot against Man Utd was extraordinary.
He hit it with every (N) force in his body.

And the penalty, genuinely the best penalty I've ever seen.
