By reliable, do you mean reliable as in ‘always being reliable to be consistently wide of the mark’ ? If so, impressive self awareness 😉 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon he'd be perfect for us in the defensive midfield role. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hendrie_7 1,073 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Wilder used a system with a number 10 in L1 and the Champ with Sheff Utd didn't he? First with Brooks then with Duffy? Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I dont think Chalobah style of play suits Wilder system. From what I remember Wilder likes his DM to be quick across the pitch. Chalobah seems more of a laid back DM. Hamza on other hand is exactly a wilder type midfielder imo. Link to post Share on other sites

Oli Norwood certainly isn’t quick, he likes someone to spread play to full backs widen the pitch with switches of plays. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He never really has a DM, just a sitting midfielder like Norwood or Jorginho and all 3 midfielders share the brunt of the defensive work. Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. If anything, the central midfielder is more of a box to box type. Wilder doesn't play with a defensive midfield destroyer type. All three midfielders are meant to disrupt the opponents up high or, if not possible, to sit in a shape and block off the passes. We don't routinely play with a high-press. We occasionally press if the opponent is struggling a bit and he does like to win the ball high up when we can but mostly we sit in a shape that's quite high up the pitch and challenge the other side to pick a way through or play it over the top. As far as I can see, the main intent is to keep possession in the opponent's half and keep them under stress. This requires us to be able to move the ball quickly from side to side and, crucially, not to lose possession. Starting with Blackburn, teams have learned to disrupt this by pressing Howson at an early stage and we've never really seemed to be able to adjust. Our plan B is a direct counter-attack out wide. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,370 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Boca Juniors preparing a loan offer for a year and a half, would make absolutely no sense from our point of view. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
