killer1257 3,282 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 183cm and 182cm CB pairing? Thiago Silva wins 77% of his aerial duels,which is even more than Zouma wins. Van Dijik wins 76% and Zouma wins 73% of their aerial duels. But obviously, they also play Pl, in which it is harder to win aerial duels. Although Malang Sarr's success at winning aerial duels is horrible. Only 47%.Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Unionjack and NikkiCFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 4 games tho. When they played in back 3 yes, a lot. Silva is great in the air but we still need tall guy next to him. lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Im sorry but I'm at a complete loss as to why we would bring this 21 year old in only to loan him out. I thought we were having to cut our loan numbers down? It Shirley cant be to get more exprerience? He seems to have had plenty of that. As whats been said the kid gets good air and from what Ive seen of him he looks relaxed and comfortable with the ball. I too like having big defenders but I spent some time looking up our ex top players heights and compared them to current and our new ones are mostly taller. I think its more mental. We need a strong willed general/commander and a ball playing passer that doesnt mind getting stuck in. We wont be able to rely much on Ben defence wise from what I pick up so we will need a strong CDM for support. We really got no idea of what FL sees as our formation and who plays where yet.The lack of a proper pre season put the kaibosh to that. So hes not had any real chance of playing different players and combinations together. Unless he gets that bit right we may have problems to start with me thinks.

Seems to me this one was simply a spontaneous business decision, because it was a good deal signing him on a free. Either he becomes good enough to join the first team or we just cash in.

With our loan army growing with academy players needing experience at higher levels. And our deadwood not being wanted and nobody willing to back down and take a price hit on them. Its difficult.

NikkiCFC 8,327 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Zero rumors about him going on loan in the last couple of weeks. Based on what I have seen he could be solid LB backup option for Ben. Â Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can just hope that something like a tomori happens. Despite some geniuses claiming, alonso is not a decent LB back up. He won't be a decent lb back up for villa. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal is currently trying to sell their unwanted players (Guendouzi, Torreira, and Mustafi) to raise some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
