white_dragon Bod Better than no one at all . But ffs we were linked with him 3 years ago , what kind of scouting have we got.
Foxy_Dread white_dragon does make you think everything signing wise was driven by Orta, with Bielsa having the veto.
Raposa Gone under the radar somewhat but Gelhardt and Summerville signing new deals has to be good news. Hopefully both heavily involved this season.
90Piesanhour Raposa Agreed. I'm hoping Jesse will play Bamford, to pull the opposition defence all over the place, then bring in on Gelhardt second half to punch holes in it, just like the ladies team starting with White then bringing on Russo. Works a treat!
Djpekingman 90Piesanhour 5 subs this year - Geldhardt and Sumerville after Bamford, Aaronson and Rodders have run 'em ragged - defenders worst nightmare!
Foxy_Dread I don't buy into the notion of defenders tiring over the course of a game especially centre backs. They don't cover much ground do they. Games do open up as the match goes on but its a team chasing a goal that opens things up not physical exhaustion.
Mitaman Foxy_Dread They don’t cover much ground do they. They probably cover more than they used to, at least at a faster pace with the high-press and fast transitions.
Foxy_Dread Mitaman the high press for defenders covers no more ground than the old shuffling up towards the half way line to hold the line for off sides as per the 70s. They don't cover much ground do they. Smiley face thing.
Mitaman Foxy_Dread Its the same ground, but I think its just forward and reverse at a far higher pace and likely more regularly than it used to be. Game is unquestionably a lot faster than it used to be.
