Enzo and Caicedo - worst signings, worst pairing or just worst...

[Bebe1980]

Have to admit if I was in his shoes I think I'd probably think the grass looks greener elsewhere...

And I wouldn't be surprised if half the team or more felt that way too - f**king stupid approach by Clearlake Capital - made it very hard for everyone, especially the manager.

And the academy boys thrown down the drain - dreadful.

 

[Victor90]

Did really well tonight which was good to see

 

[charierre]

Complimented each other well tonight, helped by a compact shape without the ball.

That should answer the question asked, play them close and they boss any team both were outstanding today.

Yes. The best I have seen them play together. Hopefully they can build from this game.

The more important question, what change? 

There is no way poch suddenly wake up in the last three days and change stuff.

Maybe players just worked it out for themselves. I was very taken by him pulling the shirt off. Saw a lot passion for success in that. What I saw he played deeper and more centrally. team was way better for it.

Sure. So the player just get together and say let's play closer? 

If we want to play more compact. The line has to be high and fast or we build slowly and keep the ball. High

 

[Malcolm9]

It worked because the team had better balance, and we had the ability to push up further from the back with Disasi & Badiashile as the centre back pairing.

For me Silva is not a starter, we need to push on from here.

Hopefully they kick on next season but this has surely been a season to forget for both of them on a individual level.

So much hype before the season started and so very little substance after the football got underway.

If they get a tactician as their manager who gives them clear instructions I believe they could be phenomenal. Unfortunately for them and us  they probably got another 18 months of Poch.

Still don’t think that will be enough especially if the manager persists with a 4-2-3-1. To get the best out of them you will need to switch to a 3-4-3 or a DM behind them in a 4-3-3.

I've got no problems with Enzo at all. He is a clear upgrade for me on Jorginho and will only get better. Particularly when we get someone better up top than Jackson.

It's Caicedo  I'm worried about. He has proved to be a massive downgrade from Kante so far.

I don't think the players are the problem. It is the system with the players around them. If playing Double pivot as we are, then it is criminal to then have disasi and cucurella as the wide players and connor as the creative 10.

I love Enzo. I think he's someone who will become a legend at this club. 

Caicedo let's see. I think he has the ability to do awesome things. 

But as everyone says, they need to be set up right. 

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Enzo looked mustard under Potter and mustard at the World Cup.

Caicedo looked mustard under De Zerbi.

Trying to figure out the common denominator for the point they didn't look mustard. Scratching my head on that one.

However came in for Kante was facing a hiding to nothing, replacing seven players with one is impossible.

Tbf for Caicedo,  pretty much everyone is a massive downgrade over kante

Connor as a 10 is not for creativity.

433 or 4231 is very similar especially if you want to press, in 433 one of the midfield will step up and press and you will end up in 442/4231 shape
