Jack Willow Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Mason Bennett? I don't think he's has the right skill set to be considered as a playmaker at all. He is sort of winger/forward. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playmaker A playmaker is a player who controls the flow of the team's offensive play, and is often involved in passing moves which lead to goals, through their vision, technique, ball control, creativity, and passing ability.

Mr Tibbs Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Butters is a good enough playmaker, especially if we played him a bit further forward. What we need is a quality winger or two. No problem with Bennett getting in on the scene and getting some game time but I don't think he's anywhere near good enough to fill the shoes of Mr Ince.

Leicester Ram Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 In my eyes Butterfield is a good enough playmaker and if you get people playing close to Martin, he's a very different type of playmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Don't make a song and dance about a play maker. Ive heard we've bid for Andrew Lloyd Webber. If we pull that off, it'll bring the house down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a fair few people state how Butterfield is still only passing sideways and backwards, I've seen some very good through balls from him in the last few matches. The one that put Bennet through on goal was a beaut. Kinda feel like he's been tarnished now, like some other players and no matter what he does hel never shake it.

Thorne and Huddlestone are both playmakers Note that it doesn't say where they have to be doing the playmaking from - Last season half the time Keogh was our playmaker! When the midfield looked dry his surging runs through (I assume) frustration were the catalyst for a lot of our attacking play I suspect we'll have more of a 'quarterback' style playmaker this season - Either finding long passes over to the wide receivers (wingers) or handing off short passes to our running backs (box to box mids) - Worked for both Liverpool and Madrid when they used Xabi Alonso like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still rather have seen Hughes making himself available for the ball, and indeed making the spaces for those two to play in, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - But there aren't too many (if any) players like him around these days I actually think it's an interesting debate because I wouldn't have ever considered Ince a playmaker - He's an excellent producer in the attacking areas but for me was always a final third player - And I prefer my playmakers to be moving the ball from defence into attack I should clarify - I didn't see playmaker as Ince's BEST role - The guy is talented enough to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Tom Huddlestone is a deep lying midfielder (playmaker), but George Thorne I am seeing more as a kind of anchorman (playmaker) who sits behind and protects back four primarily. They are not similar players at all due different technical qualities which they posses. The only thing which is similar to both of them is that they're not enough mobile. Keogh sometimes plays as a sort of libero, when he runs forward with the ball, but not as a true playmaker, I wouldn't call it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He puts people clean through on goal they need to finish it off. I thought he looked much more dynamic - I've been critical of him when he's seemingly popped off an easy pass and then stopped moving, but he was much more giving and going. If he can continue to work on that side of his game then he could yet be a star for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
