It's a back 6 and a front 4 if you like. If we had one of those the striker would score more too. All those crosses last night and no late runner just standing targets. Nobody bursting in to the box. Knight and Sibley definitely can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 It's no coincidence that our upturn in form has come alongside Bielik's reintroduction to the team. He does a great job of screening the back four, but also he gets us ticking much quicker as he always plays the positive progressive pass, and we've really missed someone moving the ball on quickly and not slowing us down.

Always rated him and knew he would make a difference. Much more of an impact in midfield ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see why Cocu wanted to build around him. That injury was a massive blow and we didn’t really come to terms with it in his absence. He gives us something we haven’t got when he’s not available. He’ll probably need a few more games to get properly tuned in again but if he stays fit, I think he’ll make all the difference. Now for a goal scoring forward....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTom92 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Seems to be playing better now than pre injury. If he stays fit he could be the difference between relegation and survival this season and top 6 against mid table next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andicis Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Best player we have. Makes me think we don't need 2 holding midfielders, since I'd trust him to be able to do the work of 2 by himself, allowing space for more attackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 2015/16 Leicester's 3 man midfield of Drinkwater in the middle and Kante at either side of him? I'm not comfortable with all this praise so close to a transfer window.

We look better under Rooney, but is that due to Rooney not playing? With Rooney as manager, he doesn't play, which helps us on the pitch. Replace Bielik in the games we've played with Rooney DM so far this season and we would've done better than we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
