Completely misreading and failing to control ball Dont think he suits being deepest man, need a strong passer like Huddlestone or Evans in that role. Yes, really looking forward to good things from Evans. He will hopefully have a decent passing game and be able to get round the field better than Huddlestone. Bryson now a decent player for the bench imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC27 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I know I’ll get rinsed for this but I’ve been thinking it for a while. I think Johnson could really excell this season in the role Bryson currently occupies. He has the engine and mobility to play box to box and he has a bit of flaire too. Hudds and Mount can do the eye catching passes and touches but I think Johnson has the ability to win the ball back and just pass to a player who can play + we all know he has ability to play a 40 yard ball through to a striker or test the keeper from outside the box In conclusion I just think this year he brings something different to our midfield, more physical and I feel Bryson and Mount can be too similar.

Bob Gnarly Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I don't think there would be much of a problem if we had Bryson on the bench being subbed on for Mount as an impact sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or vice versa. If Bryso had been playing where Mount was I think he'd have scored a couple of goals and had a similar effect on our play. Mount is by no means the finished article, there's a long way between the Dutch league style and the Championship I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I enjoyed that period we are down to 3 or 4 players left and the manager wants to go in a different direction. Just let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Always feel the average label is a little unfair. A tidy footballer who can time his runs well and has the energy to stretch the play from midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I just don’t think the mount, Bryson, Johnson combo works which is making them all look worse than they are. theres not a controller of the game in either of those 3 hence we don’t control a game. No DM either so they are all disjointed in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Good player is Bryson, but he's playing in a position that doesn't suit him at all. Him and Mount should be battling it out for a slot. Sadly the complete lack of balance in our midfield options means FL is trying to accommodate both and it doesn't work. In my mind for this formation you'd ideally have a defensive midfielder (Thorne of the 2014 vintage/or an experienced battler like Eustace), a linking midfielder who is good at both attacking and defending (which we don't have unless Evans can do it or Ledley can sort himself out) and a box to box (Mount/Bryson). I really like Hudds but I struggle to see him in this fluid formation, he has the technique but his style doesn't really suit the defensive midfield or linking midfielder slots.

Lampard wants to play out from the back. Mac 1 team was all centred around Chris Martin. Other than formation I don't see any comparison between the 2 teams...as of yet.

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'm in the camp that thinks bryson and mount need to fight for one spot as the attacking midfielder. Mounts probably mmore skilled, but brysons motor is exceptional. The real problem, like has been said, the balance iis wrong and its hampering all of them. Plus, its always been the case it takes.bryson a while in the side to really get sharp and be his best, but hes not really hhad that run for years now because of injuries, managers, and coming in but not being in firm and being dropped again.

We played out from the back under McClaren as well, the centre-halves splitting and the #6 dropping in. The difference then was that we had a player who could move the ball effectively through the thirds whereas now we have Bryson playing the way he’s facing.
