Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Sicario2

I think eventually his final position will be CB as his lack of pace will be telling.

Having said, he is the 3rd youngest player in the squad after MLS and EN so maybe can get better at positioning to counter his lack of speed.

Sicario2 he looks like Zinchenko on defense. Let’s see how he develops. I love his offensive attributes a lot though. Which I weigh 60/40 in importance even for a fullback

Calafiori has a good amount of ‘wasted movement’ in his running right now. It hasn’t hurt him before because of his aggression and coordination but he will need to iron it out at the very top level. He’ll never have top fullback pace, but he should be able to move better than he does now, our strength and conditioning staff are top with that kind of stuff.

Claudius

Calafiori and Timber are the reason I am hoping we have a Bayern rematch in the knockout rounds. Last season Bayern could stay organized in front of what was seemingly a tired team that tried to pass its way through. These two will give us more directness on the ball, ability to get past defenders and push them back.

That finish was fucking clinical man, defenders don't finish like that!

Sicario2

JazzG agreed even his shot v Forest last week was pretty surreal the way he Cruyff turned the defender before being so unlucky not to score.

I can see him go wild in Madrid haha

JazzG Sturridge said on Amazon afterwards, on a panel with Rooney and Theo, that when they scored goals like that, tucked into the far corner like that first time they'd have been delighted with it, the other 2 agreed. And they're forwards.

Claudius

This guy is a total footballer. You can see why Arteta chased him so long. He will be even better than Timber and White. Can’t believe how many people complained about us buying him earlier this season. He’s legit.
Calafiori, MLS and Nwaneri will help us solve our Bayern issues.

Claudius Still shed the occasional tear about that Rice, Kiwior, Gabriel, Raya four man fuckup to put Bayern through last season.

I get the Chilli Peppers tune stuck in my head every time I open this thread. Thanks Qwiss.

Daz its understood that Woensel-Noord hates Califiornicatioooooon

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Sicario2 his technique is so crisp. That's why I could see him making a quality midfielder.

JazzG

Something about him, a real maverick on the pitch. Defends a bit liberally at times but has something about him.

QuincyAbeyie

Saying he's a healthy streak away is like saying he's still a long way from people realizing it.

I like watching this guy play, there's some some sort of manic elegance about him. Thing is I also like watching Myles play. That's some conundrum there. Blessed to have them both.

Don Pacifico

Was Sunday his first match for us at CB (may have got a few minutes in another fixture but don't remember)?

I really like him as an option to bring on when we need his ability on the ball to both give us more control in transition and more threat in attack. I expected to see gaping holes at points when Newcastle broke but it didn't seem to really happen if my memory serves me correctly (maybe once when Kiwior made a last ditch tackle...?).

Don Pacifico Was Sunday his first match for us at CB

it was, though he was barely there... it was like we had two inverted left backs.
