Unnamed Trialist Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 They seemed to think they could win easily, did not start Jutglà, did not let Larin help with striking. So hopefully that lesson is clear and they use their striking resources better. jhoops__ and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadeau Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Tajon looked good out there. He's a magic dust creator! When hes got the ball; things happen. NVsoccer, Norrin Radd, Approve My Account Pls and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just feel he’s going to pull off something nasty in Qatar. What a player and as much as I like Adekugbe it’s really tempting to have him and Davies down the same side.

Could see it that way but I think we may also be more effective with a right foot on that left side. The Davies/Sam combo is a little predictable and easier to game plan for.

The Davies/Sam combo is a little predictable and easier to game plan for. I agree. We are strongest with them both there. Davies is unstoppable at the highest level running at the opposition on that side and it’s also Tajon’s best look. They’re both capable defenders as well. Davies is so fast, and Tajon has played some pretty tenacious football in Belgium as a back. But vs Uruguay when Herdman had Davies at left back with Tajon on the wing, it seemed Davies was still moving to the middle or right and Kone was covering for him… not sure that was helping us overall despite Davies obvious quality no matter where he is. Tajon alone on left was not much figuring in the play and our left side was weak when it should have been our strength.

El Hombre Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I think having Davies and Tajon on opposite wings is actually ideal. Part of the reason Davies got smothered against Uruguay was because they were keying on him. If you have a decent threat on the right side as well as the left, it's harder to devote so much effort in covering one side.

Davies was most often in the middle of the park vs Uruguay where he was met by all of the defence that one usually finds in the middle. And he might have been on the right as much as he he was on the left. Edited September 30, 2022 by ECW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies at RW with Richie or Johnston at RB/RWB. The off wing thing is interesting but I think unless you are sacrificing Larin and asking David to play as lone centre striker (not his best role) you open up huge gaps in the centre if you play both fullbacks and wingers. Against good teams at least. And still Adekugbe is a lock, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSantos Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Looked to be playing more upfront rather than at fullback. Will be interesting to see if that continues through out the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Geographical aside, but why do so many of us use the French spelling/pronunciation for the Flemish city that Tajon plays in? Just because it's easier to say? We don't talk about Gand or Anvers (although we do use the French name of the famous battle town of Ieper). gigi riva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
