Eillyeillz: Let's just maintain the big players we have now.... because lfc is only looking to sign player from 15m-30m max and expect him to be the world best |

Mangekyo:How so? A midfield of Matuidi, Kante and Pogba is more 4-2-3-1, or two pivot DM. Matuidi is a classic box to box midfielder, so how is he a lone pivot? In the absence of Matuidi we have a Tolisso, box to box, so baba calm down. In football, the position your heat map shows, when you popped most, determines you role, not where the team list says you are. |

OMNIVIRUS: Ogbeni keep quite and stop talking trash. France used a 4-3-3 formation in 2018, with kante playing as a defensive/holding midfielder. Matuidi/tolisso and Pogba played as CM. Is box to box not a cm? What the f**k is this guy even saying? there's a difference between a DM and a box to box. A dm stays back at most times, but a box to box always moves forward to join the attack whenever the opportunity arises. They can also track back if they have the stamina. Pogba played as a center midfielder, matuidi/tolisso played as a box to box center midfielder. While kante played as the holding midfielder. I can't believe you're actually saying you haven't seen kante play as a lone dm, or he isn't good as a lone dm. Well it can only mean one thing. You started watching football in 2019, obviously 1 Like 1 Share

Liposure:The guy is good but I don't see him as a regular starter for Pep tho I might be proved wrong but personally I think its a wrong buy for City.... For the money that's British for you their players are overhyoed and outrageous fees are placed on them but most if not all don't perform. |

Mangekyo:Then you're misunderstanding me. I used to have that misunderstanding. But lemme clear you. Kante is a proper play destroying midfielder. Intercept, and recycle play. There is a holding midfielder, tactically called a libero, they are not very defensive, but their positioning and ball playing ability allows them to recycle play effortlessly, especially when playing balls into channels eg Busquets, Jorginho, case in point. There are also players who seems to be defensive but are actually play makers in their role, they call them defensive play makers eg Pirlo, Alonso, Fabregas under Conte. You dropped an Image showing matuidi and Kante in the same midfield but you're judging base's on the line up. Matuidi is box to box, he'd will always defend when out of position, very deeply with Kante but is able to make forward runs into channels on transition. Kante is never alone in a midfield but Pivot. He suffered when used solitary by Frank and also when asked to box to box by Sarri. Tuschel used him as a double with a dm play maker just as conte did with Fabregas just as Deschamps did with Matuidi and Ranieri Did with Drinkwater. Are you getting the point now? If not, In France when Kante was asked to Singly pivot with Rabiot and Pogba in midfield, check his performance or even alone in Chelsea as a lone pivot..... Oga I get your anger, but when you watch ball, don't watch just the line up, look at the players in transition, both offensively and defensively, you may start to understand that line ups do not count in the modern football. Coaches my line up 4-3-3 but play 4-4-2 diamond, they may line up one way and play another. There are teams that a 4-1-4-1 in attack but defend 4-2-3-1, it all about the tactical acumen of the coaches. |

OMNIVIRUS: You dropped an Image showing matuidi and Kante in the same midfield but you're judging base's on the line up. Oga what are you even saying? When did I say box to box midfielders don't defend when out of possession? All midfielders defend when out of possession! Fact! In Chelsea, Kante and jorginho do play as holding midfielders. Kante and I think Pogba paired as holding midfielders in the Euro 2020. Now you make it look as if kante cannot function alone as the only holding midfielder in a team which is false. He clearly did it the world cup. Matuidi played as a box to box, not a holding midfielder with kante in the midfield. Kante was the only one left behind to break up fast paced counter attacks and he did it wonderfully. There's a difference between dm and box to box. A box to box is a cm who has the stamina and can get forward whenever the opportunity arises. Dm hardly go forward. They stay behind to break up counter attacks. There may be attacks that would be too fast for box to box to return back for, that's where dms come in. Kante functioned as a lone dm in the world cup. Kante is never alone in a midfield but PivotIs there a midfielder that can funtjon alone in a midfield? Midfielders have specific roles in a midfield. The role of kante in the midfield is to hold play and break up attacks (defensive midfielder). Although he's more effective with having another holding midfielder with him in the midfield eg jorginho/kovacic, he can do it alone if there are none. He did it in the world cup! He suffered when used solitary by Frank and also when asked to box to box by Sarri. Ogbeni I never said kante can play box to box if that's what you think I said. What I said is only he can play as a dm with two box to box or cms in front of him. Why would anyone be playing kante as a box to box when he's a a natural dm? It's like playing busquets, or matic as box to box midfielders. Lampard was dumb. Sarri wanted to accommodate jorginho who couldn't play any other place apart of holding midfielder. |
