DanishBlue 426 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 It would be hard to leave out Ramires, wouldn't it? I know he has bad games but when he plays well he really means a lot to the team. Well, on the other hand you can't leave out Mikel either :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can play KDB and Ramires in the pivot if we don't need real protection in the team - play KDB and Mikel in a more possession based cohesive team or play Ramires - Mikel when we need a more physical and direct approach.

I know he has bad games but when he plays well he really means a lot to the team. Well, on the other hand you can't leave out Mikel either :/We can play more than 11 players in a season..I think it's a good problem. We can play KDB and Ramires in the pivot if we don't need real protection in the team - play KDB and Mikel in a more possession based cohesive team or play Ramires - Mikel when we need a more physical and direct approach.You can't field three attacking midfielders without a proper DM unless you are desperate. It is suicide. Mikel should only be rotated with Romeu imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Wouldn't say he plays as a pure winger, hes more of a wide midfielder. Like FloMo used to be. He kind of has similarities to him tbh, not the quickest, good crosser, excellent vision, great at dribbling, capable of scoring goals. Also you could say hes a bit like Beckham because he isn't exactly fast but he has a great delivery and can constantly provide good crosses from allover the opponents half. What I've seen of him in a more central position for Bremen hes been great too. Picking his position could be a conundrum for whoever in charge for the next 5-10 years. Personally I'd like to see him as a regista because we need one but he needs more experience to play in that position. Also Eddie Newton basically made out that Oscar was being groomed for that position saying hes capable of playing there in the future so maybe Kevin might be used as a wide midfielder?

He is more like Lampard who also used to have some decent pace at young age. Don't really get, what this "wide midfielder" stuff is about. When do they play. Malouda was more of a defensive winger and hence great in that 2010 4-3-3, which had almost no pace but so much power and balance. KDB should be used in mid-3 or double pivot.

Yes Malouda scored a lot of goals too but there was a peroid of time where he effectively played as an attacking midfielder as he drifted in to central areas. For a central midfielder yes De Bruyne is fast but compared to wingers he isn't as fast as some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 His position isn't too important as he can play just about anywhere in midfield. As a Regista, normal CM, Behind the Striker or even on the wings. This kid will make it here for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray 9,441 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Recall Kevin in Jan?No doubt about it... He would add to the team.But: Seeing he is young, still has off days, let the fans burn him after a couple of bad matches? No thanks.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 If he would play lot, I dont see why would this stall his progress if he returns from loan in january. If he wont play enough, I dont see why would we recall him in first place.,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wont play enough, I dont see why would we recall him in first place.,,He is good enough to play. A different case to Lakaku where he needs to continue playing regularly for WBA.We will have a lot of games come the turn of the year. I'd recall Kevin and leave McEachran and Romelu out on loan. He's the most 'ready' out of the three. Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
