yea i hear that, but if we are playing in a 4231, one of the 2 needs to be a good ball player, bissouma and bentancur aint that guy, not for the level we want to be competing at, you need genuine class in there. its such an important position, its crucial to how good a team can be, look at city without rodri.Time will tell, we all see the game differently i suppose.
I think with how we setup in the 4231 under frank bentancur will fit perfectly. Yes we want somebody capable of more but bents knits it together well and I think he's a good all rounder. First half our left hand side where he played lcm was operating well he was keeping it simple when needed and playing forwards in a controlled manner effectively and we didn't suffer many turnovers especially from deep. I liked it.
Tel has just turned 20 years old. Hes played a few months in a dysfunctional team as a teenager.He still has time to develop, you never know. Especially with Frank.
Other major issues is neither are great at corners or set pieces in general, unsure if you can coach that, esp when every opposition team targets it.to be fair that was kinskys only blunder in that first half i think? yea poor decision to come for that as he should know hes not gonna get near it as its too congested.
both of them need some tuning, both can be very good keepers though. vic is never going to be comfortable with the ball at his feet, youll have to adjust for that tactically, thats the issue with him.
That’s slightly rewriting history. Klopp did not really fancy Gravenberch as a DM in his last season. It was Slott who transformed him.Yeah but not as their main man in CM.They signed him as a versatile depth option. They had Gravenberch and MacAllister already.
We need to upgrade our starting 11 in CM before chasing journeymen 30 year olds for experience.
For me an aerially dominant CB is essential as it’s Romero and VDV’s biggest weakness.

The way people are writing him off is crazy to me.
That's because it is
You would have sold Kane at 19.
With our luck we would get fat Gotenks.
I’m not a big fan of Tel at all but I’m interested to see what Frank can do with him.
I think that may be true, if it's the same as with the senior players. Something like a 3 week layoff after a major tournament.Anyone know why they weren't in the squad today? Is it to do with the U21 Euro?
Neither of our keepers would fill you with confidence. Kinsky, great with his feet, but came for a punch in the first half and made a mess of it. Vic poor with ball at his feet, can pull off some miraculous saves , but then needs someone like Vdv to save us in the EL final from another calamitous error. Probably not as great a priority as other areas in some people's views, but definitely needs some consideration.
