Hannibal & Choudhury

Looks like this season has been bolloxed before it’s started the way it’s panning out. Struggling to get players in for any positions and losing our best midfield without having a replacement in place. It’s a chaotic mess at the moment. If we lose against Sheffield then we’re already playing catch up with some of the favourites. I don’t buy into there’s plenty of time rhetoric - it takes time for new players to bed in so say we get them in at the last minute then say another month to get them settled and up to speed. That’s a quarter of the season gone before we get going properly
 
Witnessing that first 30 minutes in the flesh, I did think the midfield lacked some bite. At least Hannibal would offer that.

(sorry, I'll get my coat)

(not sorry)

He’s not a defensive midfielder he’s a number te…. Ah I see what you did there.

agreed, we were weak out of possession. Howson was over run because McGree isn't the most physical and Crooks lumbers back, he's too big to play 8 and be a good defensive player in open play, too much weight to drag around the pitch. He could play it as a 4 because he would be constantly goal side of the ball, but as an 8 he'll never track back quick enough. Positive side is that as an 8 going forward he's big strong and powerful with enough ability to create and score. Would be great to have options and play him in certain games instead of every game, but we don't have that.
 
People have recognised the need for a replacement for tav but we have lost Payero as well who's natural position is a central midfielder mcgree is a number 10 he can't play further back. it's absolutely criminal the lack of options in midfield we have now its probably more critical we get that right than up front.
