King Kante 1,643 Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 (edited) 1 hour ago, Special Juan said: I agree with bits of your Caicedo analogy and I have been his biggest critic on here at times. The last few games he has made a massive contribution, some of his little pinch tackles at crucial areas of games has been superb. It might not be the glitzy last ditch challenge but him pinching the ball and breaking up attacks and play has been really good and something some will overlook. He is far from the 100M player we paid for but I can see him only getting better. Personally, I am not a fan of those, just simply because I think they only happen because something else has gone wrong. Hence, why I was never a fan of Zouma although he did some spectacular ones. As for Caicedo, I get why people are feeling he is playing better - and he is - however the points your highlighting are still traits you Associate with players of the technical ability of Gallagher. For me, I just simply do not think he is good enough. To play the position he is, you either need great passing under pressure- see Mikel or Jorginho - or you need to be able to break the lines with your running on the ball - see Kante or Yaya Toure. For me, being a scrappy ball winner isn't something we can rely on long term even if he is great at it. 9 minutes ago, MoroccanBlue said: It's Enzo I am worried about. Not Caicedo. Having only 1 good game in 5 under Poch. Funnily enough, I have been ok with Enzo the past few weeks as I have seen improvement in his positioning and off the ball running to go along with his long passing. He still needs to work on his vision and executing of his short/sharpe passes but I think if it is true he was/is playing with a hernia, then these things will come once fully fit.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 Someone has to tach those players positioning and movement off the ball - how to play as a team. Have you noticed something about Man. City and Real Madrid ? When they have to play against an organized defense they can always move the ball downfiled to promising position. This we can't do with the same fluency-effectiveness (but in the old days we could of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
