Jodera:
Which another Lyon player?
If he's not getting Paqueta, let him just comot eye for that club abeg. No better Midfielders or attacker dey there wey I dey eye again. Bruno G and Paqueta na the only two players I been dey hope make we get

mostob:
might be their LB. Just saying....
We were in for Vitinha but na Fabio we later signed

Jodera2:
Anfieldfan ... Would you call fabinho a DLP or a CDM in you guys 433.

Android17... Would you call Fernandinho a DLP or a CDM/DM during his time at Etihad.
Would you also say Rodri played as a DLP or CDM last season.


I would love to hear you guys humble opinion on this especially as you're the club in question supporter

Jodera2:

iamoyindamola:
Na to drink water be that nau
Maybe money dan finish
But we get 2m change from 100m na

Jodera2:
Lol, or maybe dem wan spring us another Viera surprise again

Jodera:
Lol, I no even remember sef.

That's one of the thing I even enjoy this thread well. We might argue, debate and always have contrasting opinions/ideas but hardly you'll see bitter name-calling or e-fight.

Na real matured minds dey here

iamoyindamola:
I read torreira is going to roma instead of xhaka
They werey way suppose they update us with pictures just they do anyhow
I also read saliba is on verge of extending his contract, we are off martinez matter as ajax are looking for highest bidders

Fkforyou:
This thread was not like this, 3-4 years back.
Oyindamola used to abbreviate when typing , and was short tempered.

Spy was a softie that would lose focus when having an important argument immediately a chic steps into the thread.

But now, Omo!!! This thread dey give me joy these days.

Jodera2:
Oh now. Not only is Arteta not using Partey as DM role but it's now a FB that's playing our DM role? Interesting!!
Like Tierney or Tomiyasu acting as a DM? Wow!!... Real wow!!

In all my knowledge of football, I've never seen a DLP acting as an anchor.

This and many more of the reasons is why we can never ever agree on this issue. I'm just seeing new weird stuff everyday

Jodera2:
Lol, you still dey get hope say Xhaka go leave before Torreira. I mean both are like light and day. Torreira wants to leave while Xhaka now wants to stay. Plus e be like say Arteta just like Xhaka normally. As for me, the only way Xhaka won't see shirt is if arsenal buys someone to bench him.

Yeah, I also read that Saliba wants to extend his deal plus he's been given a new number (no.2). I don't know about Grimaldo but if he's good let's get him. And if we can get one more winger or Midfielder it'll be better. But I'll personally prefer winger. Loan or sell all of Pepe, Nelson and Niles. Give more game time to Partino and Sambi to play the number 8 role

This one funny me

Spy na true??

Jodera2:
Thank you Anfield.fan and Andr.oid17 for your thoughts, explanations and contributions. I really appreciate.

So Spy360, you see that at least a Liverpool and Manchester city fan have acknowledged that both Fabinho and Rodri are CDMs in their team with proper explanation. From both explanations, you'll notice that they still have some attacking role to play such as transitioning and build up but that doesn't negate that they're DM carrying out defensive duties.

If you even do a survey on this thread as well as other thread asking the role of Partey's this last season, you'll most likely receive the answer that he's a CDM.

That number 6 role needs someone who have high sense of intelligence in Defensive duties, beating of press and good attack something Odegaard, Xhaka Or Tielemans lack

Android17:
In a nutshell, Rodri is a CDM. He has the passing range and IQ of a DLP but City don't lack creativity so Rodri's role is measured in terms of that. There might be 1 or 2 games last season where he played as a DLP but that is his tertiary function.

Fernandinho started out as a box to box midfielder but his role kept adjusting as he aged.

AnfieldFan:
Fabinho is a CDM...

The Dlp role doesn't describe him, that's not to say he can't pick a pass once in a while because he can, but when he's on the field, he isn't scanning the pitch to pick out Salah or Diaz, rather, he's scanning the pitch to know when to time his run and intercept the opposing team's DM before he(opposing team's Dm) makes a pass or runs with the ball...

Also, because we play a very highline, Fab has to be closer to the opponent's half for the second ball if the press( front line and Cm's) do not win the ball back, so he's more of an outlet for a pass in the opponent's half rather than dictating play from deep...

When we are building out, he functions in the same way, creates an extra passing option in addition to our CB's so as to maintain numerical equality or even superiority in our half while at the same time, drawing out the AM of the other team which leaves space to launch very quick transitions, our transitions are notoriously fast..
Thiago does this more the though, we mainly do this when the press becomes very hot in our half...

iamoyindamola:
Boss people change, about the abbreviation i hate that thing like anything
Facebook did some throwbacks for me and i was wondering is this me abbreviating like this

iamoyindamola:
This i can testify very true
Na why e they follow that mumu ndidi oldie

Spy360:
I beg your indulgence. Please have you read on total football which I recommended?
Because if you have you will not make the bolded at all.

New stuff? Lol. Don't tell me you are watching football of the cave men. Lol.

Spy360:
It's interesting how you moved from DM to CDM. However you are still a bit far from the point. Take away that D and you are there. Why? Someone who both of us say performs both attacking and defensive roles shouldn't have a D to his position. It's simply CM.

In regards to what Anfieldfan and Android17 explained (which are correct) they are saying the same things with me, but they refuse to take away that same D which is making their point meaningless. Check my response to their posts for details.

Jodera:
.
If he's bought for anything other than CDM/DM, then he's welcome

Spy360:
Beloved Jodera, how does this makes my argument nothing? He is spot on except for that D in CDM. He could have easily said DM so why say CDM? Besides someone with the passing and IQ of a DLP is what he is no need to paint.

Jodera2:
Na wetin I been dey ask Most.ob earlier oo. Hope say we never close shop for transfer laidis

Spy360:
The bolded is simply the job of a DLP, so why say he is not? A DLP is seen in the buildout not when the entire team is defending or pressing.
