kev61 10 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) I suppose it's not unreasonable to expect improvement commensurate with money invested and players available. I expect a vast improvement on Saturday and a comfortable win otherwise Potter will be clinging on. Edited February 9, 2023 by kev61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beauty of having Enzo is that he has the most of the strengths of Jorginho but not his weaknesses. So all he needs beside him is one player with a good engine and the ability to work box to box both ways - carrying the ball forward through midfield and getting into position quickly off the ball. Ideally he would also offer a goal threat and a mean tackle. So Kante then Zakaria would be my first and second choice... Kovacic, Gallagher and RLC still work but to a lesser extent.

He can carry the ball but NEVER passes to one of our players ..and has never and will never be a goal threat or have a mean tackle..RLC Is practically useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better discipline in terms of positioning, and can actually hold on to the ball under pressure., unlike Gallagher who chases the ball even when he has it.

Thought maybe it's on Potter but saw on other places on web from people who were at the stadium that he spent a lot of time shouting to two of them about that.

Blame lies with Potter too., but at least it looks like he tried to get them to correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,909 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Potter says Kova still isn’t quite ready for tomorrows match. 😔😔😔 Another makeshift midfield tomorrow where we likely won’t be able to see Enzo at his best because he’ll have Gallagher next to him.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Kovacic is a fucking crock, played every game at the WC if memory serves me. Never seems to be fit anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Having all three of Kovacic, Kante, and Zakaria in a team is just a handicap. At the very least 2 will be injured at the same time. Massive midfield rebuild this summer. I'd get rid of all three personally. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
