And yet, before his injury he was one of the first names on the sheet. Tufan is a confidence player and for me brings so much more than Twine (for all his pressing) and so much more quality to the team. When he got injured I mentioned here, I hope he doesn't sit on his backside on the bench, because it took a while for him to get going, thats exactly what has happened.
He had one good game out of 4. He’s on 30k a week we can’t afford to wait for him to get his confidence up.
Think Tufan needs to be in a position where he sees a lot of the ball , his technical ability and ease of passing is a delight . He isn’t a high presser , I don’t think he likes it at all , maybe hard the issue where do you position him , because he can shoot also ?
A few games ago Lokilo in the second half moved into a more central position in midfield and looked really impressive, can anyone else recall it.
What do you mean, the whole ‘height’ thing was a bullshit excuse because fans were questioning why we weren't using either of our recognised left backs?
Wow. Bit sad? Anyway, iirc, my issue was square pegs round holes. I didn't understand why we didn't play with a proper LB. I could accept the 'height' argument for a one off game perhaps (even then questionnable as per above) but not ongoing. Greaves's performances were up and down earlier on, but he developed into a great CB and should have been playing as a CB. Imo, Elder (and I can't recall off the top of my head who we did or didn't have as back up) should have been LB, or maybe even gone a back 3. I didn't get playing Greaves as CB.
