Those stats are wrong

I don't ever ever recall us losing to these cunce

Stop the lies

[The Dunster]

Once we get Roy, Arroyo, and Wessi on the pitch who do people think will ride the pine ? And how will we set up the team ?

[StannyCFCJET]

4-2-3-1 Wes at number 10. Arroyo and Dimi out wide and Roy at number 9

As with most topics of discussion on here i completely concur with Stanny the man.


Hoff on the bench or back to the fullback spot and Johny K on the bench. Bonus to all this is Fitzuseless finds himself out of match day squad altogether and asks his manager to find him his 67th club in the HAL and we can provide that spot to some potential prospect from a NPL with much much more ability.

Sorry Jetkel but you know its true.

Fitzy started the season strong but has been rubbish lately.

I actually think Kanta should go to the bench, and be replaced by either Johnny, Thurgarte should then be our sub for the midfield and have Langlois on the bench for CB

Story of his career and should be released from the final year of his contract at seasons end.

Gus with Stevie I can get onboard with

[MFKS]

What has Thurgate got to do to get a start??

Judging by the shit Kanta n Hoff dish up it defies belief he not being selected ahead of them

Find a position and stick with it. He's not an 8, he's not a 10, he's not a 9.... He needs to pick one, work on it and lock it in before next season if he wants to be a guaranteed starter.

I agree that he should be starting, but I don't know where and I don't know of he can stick to a gameplan for 90 mins. He's a Ramsay style floater that goes where he wants and doesn't necessarily stick to a gameplan.

He seems to be better coming off the bench rather than starting imo

Since when do players pick their position?
That's up to the coach.
He played as a 9 in an emergency situation, which shows versatility.
I think he followed different gameplans very well, can't blame it on the player if he gets moved to different positions.

The conversation is regarding him being a starter. You really need to have a position if you want to be a starter.

It's great being a utility, but that means you are going to be starting on the bench most weeks.

[Frodo]

I think we should go to a 4-4-2 and play a diamond midfield. Kanta at CDM, Ridenton and Uga as B2B mids and Thurgate at the tip of the diamond with freedom to attack from either side or from deep.

Roy takes care of CBs and creates space for Arroyo to work with. Plenty of legs in midfield to cover across the park defensively and to counter as well.

Exactly. And that's up to the coach...

[Frodo]

Exactly. And that's up to the coach...

I think you missed the point of this conversation.

Yes, it's the coaches decision on who plays in what position each week. But it's up to the player to train and improve skills in order to show what their preferred position is. A decent coach will play players in their preferred position because that's how you get the most out of them. This isn't Under 7s when you get handed a shirt with a certain number on it and that's where you play today.

If Thurgate wants to play as an 8, he needs to improve his skills to play that position. If wants to be a 9 he needs to work on different things. So far his aim has just been to get minutes on the pitch, but now he needs to kick on and become a starter.

[mic22]

Well, he can only work on his skills in the context of the team he's playing with, and under the guidance of the technical staff available. There are many examples of players used in the wrong position by a coach, who then realised their true potential under a different coach.
It's not U7... but i you still get to play where the coach says...
I'd like to see him used in the position you suggested above. If that means Dimi out for a couple of games, so be it...

Slow down he has a position

It is down to the coaches that he has been played here there and every where

Got nothing to do with him at all

Same as Johnny K he just been played massively out of position for too long

Now he playing in a position closer to his best position we will see better from him

Being this season is lost we be better off playing Thurgate in CM where he belongs and going from there
Get the games under his belt

If we think his best position is at 8, then i'm not sure he should be starting. He doesn't read the entire game well (can see players in front of him, but doesn't know where opposition midfields are around him, yet.) and has little to no ability defensively. Compare him to Uga who is a true No 8, they aren't similar IMO.

But as an 8/10 hybrid he isn't relied upon defensively and doesn't have to worry about as many oppositions players.

Or maybe he better as an inside forward like Hazard/Mertens/Griezmann. He has lots of the attributes needed to play that role.

I don't know because he seems to be all over the place whenever he comes on, no matter the coach.


I do agree that he needs a coach to pick him in the right spot before we can truly judge him there. But we don't have one of those, so he needs to make the decision for any coach that we have. Pick a spot, and make yourself undroppable.
