rijit Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 reckon poch is getting kane and janseen 'used' to each other,, cant see it being a regular partnership and same again with kane dropping into a deeper role,, why would you drop take that scoring threat away from where its most effective,,, again IMO not a perm thing but but but both very useful option to have especially when we're going into the champs league seems a strange thing to say but feels like poch could trying things out in the prem in preparation for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfieconn Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 No wonder we are missing Dembele : 83/95 dribbles completed last season gives a success rate of 87.4%. Nobody else who attempted that many even come close to such a success rate. Of all midfielders who attempted over 50 dribbles last season, Yaya Toure has the second best success rate at 70.7%. He also had an incredible pass completion rate. 90.8% in the opponents half and 89.7% in the final third, both team highs. It’s therefore not much of a surprise that he was missed in the games he didn’t play last season, and will be sorely missed in the first 4 games of this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do think his incense was a critical factor on saturday. He makes us tick. One things for sure, someones going to have to drop out to accommodate him in a couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One things for sure, someones going to have to drop out to accommodate him in a couple of weeks Realistically, Dembele's most effective in Central midfield, although he has been played on the right and in the hole behind Kane. I can only see Dier or Wanyama having to drop out to accommodate him. The article below adds further proof of his importance, especially the first sentence. Since returning from injury in October last year, the Lilywhites have not lost in the 23 matches he has started, while taking only nine points in 10 games without the Belgian international. Dembele often finds himself as the link between attack and defence for the North Londoners, collecting the ball off the back four before moving the ball forward to the likes of Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli. Harry Kane has also suffered without Dembele. Since the start of the last campaign the England international has scored 24 goals in 27 games with the midfielder starting compared to only one goal in 12 games without him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijit Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Early doors to make an accurate assesment of Wanyama But so far,,,, he's ok, he's physical and defensively he's sound , his short game is good, and looks as though he could be a threat on set plays, however up against Dembele he probably beats him only on his defensive game and we've got dier next to him to do that, to me whilst wanyama is a good addition to the squad and over a season will prove to be of value. Dembele for all the prev stats mentioned plus dembeles work rate box to box puts him,imo, in a diferent class,tbh cant wait for him to return, will not be surprised if it marks a turn around in our ' fortunes' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already mentioned by carms....but clearly Poch left out all those who were to be sold alongside the suspension left our bench very thin indeed. Nkoudou will improve that but I think we need one more midfielder for when we play with one up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that remains to be seen and i doubt you've seen any of them play bar fleeting moments of Onomah so your not in any position to judge. What is worrying is how young they are.
