The people who do all the silly season clickbait really don't understand the game by en large, loads of Tielemens being a potential and even ideal Gini replacement, he's absolutely nothing like Gini and doesn't have the defensive and physical attributes to ever perform the Gini role, the Gini role needs a player who can do what Gini did AND offer a lot more incision with his passing, that is pertinently not Tielemens
Same the all the talk of a 4231, firstly one of our issues was not further developing the play of and how we used our full backs to make them even more effective, secondly, if you play 4231 as we're seeing with England, you hugely inhibit the full backs ability to contribute as effectively
Our forwards also aren't suited to being in the 3 in a 4231 either and you're then losing the ability to stretch and test teams by not having 2 forwards making runs in behind as frequently
I'm not that confident of Fab in certain situations in a 3 man midfield, he'd be a fucking disaster in a 2 man midfield with one less midfielder to cover the gaps he creates/opens up with is impulse charges to wherever the ball is
Might bugger off for a bit until Edwards actually gets his finger out and does his job, he's rapidly losing his edge, the chap who works in his capacity at Villa handed his arse to him last summer and in getting Buendia in so early this window is showing him up again already this window
