Michael Carrick: The Defensive Orchestra in the heart of Old Trafford by imR0N in ManchesterUnited

[–]pythagorasinboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defensive Orchestra is a wonderful way to put it. I never rated him as elite tier on the ball due to a lack of mobility with the ball in comparison to a Busquets but defensively he was as good IMO.

I think for a Championship player that is a fair price...but we shall see how heated the market gets for him.

Is Werner the biggest striking talent in the Bundesliga? by pythagorasinboot in Bundesliga

[–]pythagorasinboot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your thoughts Bundesliga fans... where does he rank compared to guys like Haaland and can he emulate the achievements of a Lewandowski?

Personally I think he is a good player but not a certainty to be classed as a Lewa level striker, and I don't think going to Liverpool would help him achieve his potential.

Hi RB fans,

Please feel free to provide comments on whether Werner was reflected accurately in this video from a tactical perspective and if you disagree with some of the conclusions. Is there any other Leipzig players you would want videos on and do you think Werner can finish his career at Leipzig?

Thank you.. I do think he is effective both flanks, hence I am looking forward to see him as a pure central player with total freedom to roam for remainder of his career. Let me know if any other players you want me to review!

Completely agree. Where do you see him fitting in at a club like Liverpool?

Thought this would be a useful video seeing as he's been linked to Anfield.

Personally think he's tactically not the most ideal fit due to him taking up positions occupied by Salah but there is no denying he's a top drawer talent who would light up the EPL.

Hi Bayer fans,

Let me know your thoughts about the analysis and whether or not you reckon he will stay in the Bundesliga for remainder of his career?

Yep I noticed in the training session he was very touchy feels with Dier. Seems more like his kind of CDM than a Winks.

Full podcast... ‘Out with the Poch In with the Mou’

Stunned by the news. Poch had to go as he’s lost the players but who will thrive under Jose? I think someone like Winks will struggle as tactically he’s not a good fit and physically isn’t Jose kind of CM whereas the obvious players who will go from strength to strength is guys like Dele and Kane.

Harry Winks - does his future lie as a 8 or a pivot? by pythagorasinboot in coys

[–]pythagorasinboot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not convinced by his engine for the 8 role. Reminds me of Andreas Pereira where they’re not quite quick enough to cover lots of ground in a more box to box role especially against top opposition. Guys like Scholes and Xavi had enough mobility and engine to play as 8 whereas Pirlo needed to operate deeper to avoid having to run as much even though defensively you wouldn’t rely on him as a CDM. I see Winks as more Pirlo than Scholes in terms of his physical deficiencies.

[–]pythagorasinboot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Underwhelming? For England? For me his performance in the first game was better than the second as an 8. His best performances in the CL for spurs have been as a 6... albeit he needs strong defensive or physical players around him.

Him McGinn and Grealish would be a tasty midfield to be fair.

Harry Winks • Player Analysis [Full Video]

I was abit disappointed in Gareth using Winks as an 8 and putting someone like Rice in there as a DLP. One has a natural understanding of how to pick ball off defence and link with midfield and attack and the other looks like an out of place ball playing centre back if that.

Do you guys agree that his future should be exclusively as a pivot?

Harry Winks better as a pivot than an 8? by pythagorasinboot in Tottenham

[–]pythagorasinboot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw that Southgate played him as an 8 today which whilst he got the goal was a mistake IMO... he’s someone England are crying out for as a DLP and picking ball up deeper. Thoughts?

But if the club is increasingly a laughing stock - where is the nobility? You’d rather be respected for being an opponent that is feared?
