That’s not good, regardless of his criminal transfer fee he’s still a solid centre back and good aerially. Plus it’s not like we’re spoilt for choice seeing as Gomez is out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If you're eating or drinking anything I'd suggest you swallow before reading. Of all the options available, if Maguire is out I'd replace him with Lewis Dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ploughendplonker 32 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 What's everyone's thoughts on Sancho? I don't really watch Bundesliga so haven't seen him play. I only ask as a recent preview I read (World Soccer) had Sancho in the starting line-up, and yet in a recent debate on Sky neither Neville or Carragher had him in their preferred squad. Do you think he'll go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he'll go? 100% he should go. Neville and Carragher and the like all love it when a player sometimes goes abroad to get that experience. Sancho has done exactly that, still young, still delivered, and is probably in better form than some players but still won't get picked. As @Danny says, if he was still in England he'd be right in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickford Walker - Maguire - Stones - Shaw Henderson - Rice Foden - Mount - Grealish Kane Yet you’ve chucked Grealish in, playing well against Burnley and Crystal Palace is one thing...

Cicero 5,265 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I've said it once and I'll say it again you do not want Mount spearheading the attack. Either play him in a 433 or don't play him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,265 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 11 minutes ago, shut up said: Mount will play in front of Henderson and Rice, which is his best position Except, it isn't. Mount isn't a CAM, which is something neutrals can't seem to comprehend and hardly a surprise you are following suit. Just because he plays there for us doesn't mean he's effective when players such as Maddison or even Foden could offer more there. Mount's numbers specifically show why he shouldn't be spearheading any attack. 11 minutes ago, shut up said: Good to see you finally admit that Grealish is best centrally after arguing with me for a year that he doesn't/can't play there. I argued you couldn't play Grealish at CM you muppet. And you're daft to still think he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,265 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 4 minutes ago, shut up said: I've never said that, I said centrally, meaning attacking midfielder Shall we revisit the thread then? I'll be more than glad to bring it up. You specifically argued Grealish should be playing over Mount at CM/#8 box to box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,201 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Grealish doesn’t play as a central attacking midfielder, he nearly always drifts wide takes the ball down the line or cuts in early. Barkley was signed to play as a CAM because Grealish doesn’t play there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,265 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 2 minutes ago, shut up said: Mount plays as a CAM for you, that's what I was saying by 'centrally'. Except during that argument exchange Mount was playing as a CM in a 433 under Lampard. 4 minutes ago, shut up said: Obviously Grealish isn't a CM, like Rice, Henderson, Bellingham etc...and i've never seen Mount there that much either, usually he's in front of Kante/Jorginho/Kovavic, or Rice, Henderson etc... Mount literally played 1.5 seasons as a CM in a 433 under Lampard. 4 minutes ago, shut up said: but you also said Grealish is a LW, and wouldn't even accept he could play centrally at all Because Grealish is a winger. An attacker that takes players on. He will find less of those opportunities at CAM and would look absolutely ridiculous as a#8 which you implied he could be better job there than an actual # 8 in Mount.

Danny 2,201 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 5 minutes ago, shut up said: Yeah, he usually drifts out to the LW and does his best work there, hence that is why I have him LW in my england line up Unlike you, who has put him centrally... Did you wake up feeling aggrieved today? Yes I would put Grealish central if it meant Sterling was playing on the left....but if it is Grealish vs Mount then they can both play in their preferred positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,265 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Should Sterling even play? Given his form? At this point I'd play this. Pickford Walker--Stones--Maguire--Shaw Rice ----------------Mount Sancho----Foden---Grealish Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
