He knows that Jorginho is not press-resistant so he chose to go with Kante and Kovacic. I'm pleased with the line-up, the only thing I don't like is Tammy starting. I am pretty sure Jorgi is getting rested for Atleti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 With Timo looking sharper lately what better player is there to have playing those signature diagonal balls for him to run onto than Ziyech? Especially against a Southampton team that will leave space behind since they like to press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he is a much better player than Mount, but look at it from the coach's point of view. If a player doesn't perform when given a chance, he doesn't warrant a start. I would've loved Ziyech to play today instead of Mount though, especially against Southampton. Ziyech is a different kind of player that should get better when he plays more often, which he does not currently. Some players, especially those players that are good passers, need game time to get sharp. Guys like Pulisic have it easier because their style of play is more based on dribbling and speed, while Ziyech's gameplay is more about smart plays for his teammates Edited February 20, 2021 by killer1257 Azul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could also be a possibility, it remains to be seen. Atleti is a team that sit back, so he is perfect for that game. What your saying makes sense, but only time will tell. killer1257 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso has always been a very good LWB, his stats when he plays there do not lie. The problem however is that too many people got caught up on his lack of pace (which is more of an issue in a back 4 admittedly) and he got scapegoated.

I swear we are trying to be the only big side in Europe that plays with a slow, snail-paced LB/LWB. killer1257 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think it is quite clear that SFL was very poor tactically at instructing the team what to do without the ball. Further, as I stated in a back 4 he is a bit of an issue but if you want to pin it all on Alonso, then fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His lack of pace, positional awareness and laziness on the ball had nothing to do with Frank's tactical instructions. Alsonso was failing to do the very basics in football... those basics you are taught as a kid. Also, who said we I was pinning 'it all' on him?? What is 'it all' and when did I pin it?

Pizy 18,952 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Think we should reserve judgement on the Alonso “resurgence” until after we play a couple of quality opponents who can exploit his weaknesses. He’s had a pretty stress free run of games so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
