I for one is really impressed with Gakpo.
He labelled Gakpo a stop gap poor man's David N'Gog
Our right hand side, that was by far our most potent and inluential last season (21-22) stopped working because of a culmination of 3 things
Jurgen trying to make Thiago designated playmaker rather than the team making the play, which saw almost all other players see significantly less of the ball, and not get it where they previously created from, it also broke down almost all our established movement and positioning off one another which also wrecked our press and counter press ability
Ditching the controller role from LCM and/or RCM with one of them performing it while the other was forward and employing Elliott at RCM getting in Trent's and Mo's space made matters even worse
This isn't the players or those players fault, it's Jurgen's use of them that created the issues.
There's never would have been a problem with Trent at RB if you put the midfield roles back to as they were before Jurgen fucked so many things up with ill thought out changes, he needs to stop trying to be Bayern City and instead further evolve what HE devised that actually won things and best suits our players, something there was still so much left to do of
Even heading into the summer, it's like having a new manager with no proven track record of being successful playing the box midfield system we finished the season playing
Original 433 system all the way for me, with the box tweak and others something we implement for certain games or at certain stages of games
