Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I wasn't a Bozanic fan to be honest. Thought he was a good guy to take on to close out a game. Lacking drive, not a bad player but not one who offered a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacking drive, not a bad player but not one who offered a lot I'm the same. I always say you don't need to be brilliant to be effective, and most of football is about the 87 minutes you spend without the ball anyway, but you still need to produce something either in winning the ball or creating with the ball and he did neither very often. A bit of an empty shirt for me, although I appreciated his effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at Russian free agents and soon-to-be's, who have been capped at U21 or full international level, and who have similar market values to players we have currently, and there's literally about 30 of them!! Seems they've capped a a LOT of players recently....! Suppose we'll just need to wait and see what happens with this one if it's true but I'm very intrigued.

I’ll be honest, I’m not in to this “hitting the byeline and swinging in crosses” obsession that people have. Defences know how to deal with that shit nowadays. A team who just attacks in such a one dimensional fashion is bread and butter for modern defences. Give me a Skacel, a Suso, or a Milinkovic every single day of the week. Players who run at defenders and ask questions of them. Obviously those three were different to each other; Skacel with his incredible left foot, Suso with his trickery, and Milinkovic with his raw energy, but they all arrived as “wingers” before quickly showing they were more attacking wide players who like to drift in to the middle and attack centrally.

Agree. I think wingers in the traditional sense would have to be as good as Neil Mccann or Ryan Giggs to be effective. Plus, if you play with a traditional winger like that, you kinda have to play 4-4-2 and need a targetman in the box because the winger has to dig out crosses from deep positions to get it in. No use if you've not got anyone over 6ft 1 in the box these days with the centerhalfs now Wide players imo should be two footed and have the ability to go down the line or cut inside. Plus if you've got good full backs that can cross like Robertson & Trent can at Liverpool, the wide players coming in off the wing creates the chance to overload the defence so you don't need that sort of traditional winger anymore.
