[BartoloSerenity]

Achas que o Cech e o Ospina eram capazes de fazer aquilo que o jogo do Sarri lhes exige, Bartolo? Na última época não me sentia confiante com qualquer um deles na baliza.

Para continuam a ser Grs muito capazes, foram é apanhados no desastre que tem sido o Arsenal nestes últimos anos. E num contexto de distribuição longa que é muito necessária na Premier, o Cech faz todo o sentido.

Já para não falar que saem muito baratos...

 

Por um motivo ou outro, acho que não me sentiria confortável com nenhum desses GRs :mrgreen: Talvez tirando o Pickford, mas esse acho que é impossível. O Cilessen se mantiver o nível que vai apresentando no Barcelona seria bom, mas por acaso não tinha uma impressão assim tão boa dele no Ajax.

 

Eu virava-me para o André Onana.

O Onana era para dar 2 títulos seguidos ao City e queimar o Sarri...

Lembrem-se do Lloris, De Gea, Karius, Bravo e até o Ederson, é um mundo à parte aquele campeonato, o Alisson também vai ter um choque no primeiro jogo...

Depois de terem ido buscar o Celina e o McKay, parece que agora o Swansea virou-se para o Woods, do Brentford.

Depois de terem ido buscar o Celina e o McKay, parece que agora o Swansea virou-se para o Woods, do Brentford.

 

O Potter já anda a fazer das suas! 8)

E deve chegar o Nmecha também, para a frente. Estou a gostar bastante. Faltam é centrais, que o Mawson vai para o Fulham e o Fernández também deve ficar pela Premier League.

 

Do que tenho lido e visto, a ideia será variar imensos em termos tácticos, partindo de um 4x2x3x1/4x3x3. Assim, o plantel deve estar qualquer coisa como isto:

 

GR: Nordfeldt e Mulder

 

LD: Naughton e Roberts

LE: Olsson e Grimes

DC: Fernández, Amat e Van der Hoorn

 

MC: Carroll, Fulton, Fer, Clucas, Woods

MO: Celina, Dhanda

EXT: McKay, Montero, Routledge, Dyer, Narsingh

 

PL: McBurnie, Ayew, Asoro, Nmecha

 

Há ainda o Bony, que está lesionado e deve ser para sair porque ganha muito e ainda deve ter algum valor de mercado. É provável também que ainda existam mais mexidas, e que alguns desses jogadores estejam nas posições erradas, tendo em conta a utilização principal que terão durante a época. É apenas um esboço, para se ter uma ideia.

 

A polivalência é também um dos factores importantes deste plantel. Se jogarmos com 3 centrais, o Naughton pode ser central e o Olsson avança no corredor. O Amat pode jogar a 6 também (e já o fez na pré-época). O Clucas pode jogar na ala esquerda, o Woods é um médio que faz várias posições, o Dhanda e o Celina também jogam a partir das alas e o Asoro também poderá jogar numa ala.

 

A ideia, do que vi e li, será chamar o adversário com bola e criar posteriormente condições para o 1x1 dos extremos contra os laterais adversários. O Jefferson Montero regressou, vai ficar no plantel e até já tem um programa de treinos específico para minimizar as suas lesões e poder estar disponível o máximo de tempo possível. O Potter acredita que ele pode ser o "game-changer" que a equipa precisa. E na área, o McBurnie, o Nmecha e o Ayew são bons finalizadores.

 

Confirmando estas chegadas e conseguindo mais um par de centrais (pelo menos um de qualidade, até porque o Potter também já testou o 3x5x2 na pré-época), fico bem satisfeito com o plantel. Há aqui qualidade para lutarmos pela subida.
