peter huistra 1,740 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 At the start of the season I was reading scout reports on Aribo and they talked about how vital Aribo is in that position further forward, his dribbling stats were pretty impressive this was based on last season only Kamara came close in terms of how far he drives the ball forward, they said he creates so many chances for the striker from the right side. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/joe-aribo-2019-20-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the expense of Arfield? No thanks! Zungu is at the bottom of the pile for a midfield role and no evidence(at the moment) should anyone want to be starting him. Gerrard has already said he won’t rush Roofe into the team and the same goes with Zungu. Give the lad time to adapt and get some gradual game time from the bench.

It's good to be in a strong position with the squad, I would drop Kamara on Sunday purely because of the games coming up and I never want to see Jack and Kamara in the same team against the likes of Livingston & other SPL fodder, big away games and in Europe its totally understandable though.

Zungu will compete with Davis and Jack, less so Arfield Any other new signing would be assumed to go straight into the team in these kind of things. The point is the position of Aribo the rest didn’t matter anyway The thing is that with the new subs rule, having a big squad who are ready to play and not lower the standard, is a huge positive for us. The old 2 players for each position is now in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swally 6,289 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I understood why Gerrard brought him on, and he did fine, but on paper probably the worst player to bring on in those conditions. I saw him struggle quite a few times because he was trying to be a bit too cute on the ball. When the puddles were forming the only real way to deal with it is to be direct, no nonsense and launch it at your team mates. You could still see his quality but I bet he was glad when the game ended Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could still see his quality but I bet he was glad when the game ended Don't agree, thought he looked good when he came on. Can't judge anybody based on that last 25 minutes. Holding on to the ball was a smart thing, worst thing you could do was pass the ball along the ground over longer distances. You either keep the ball or you launch it. He looked strong and tidy and exactly the style he was showing pre-injury that would have shown on a better pitch and don't think he was the wrong player to bring on at all for reasons stated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were two options, keep the ball on you or play it in the air. Aribo is good for both of those options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit goes to Arfield and Davis, they have looked great this season. Both looked like their legs had gone last season. Maybe Arfield has benefited from no international duty, but Canada's squad is going to be announced in a couple of weeks. But Beale has to be given some credit too, that third midfielder has been given more license to get forward this year. Everyone looks comfortable with the formation and tactics.

I think his best position is CM. Where Arfield is playing just now. He excelled in that position at the beginning of the season. However, just seeing him back and on the pitch is good enough for me. Hopefully we can see him with a good run of games now. 4 hours ago, Colin Traive said: Front three of Kent, Roofe and Aribo for the weekend please 👍 Following Gerrard's comments today I can't see Roofe starting, he'll come on as a sub.

Agree Arfield retiring from Canada will help and Davis just looks like he's rolling back the yers just now. Yes, Beales seems to be a very good tactical coach.

Yes, Beales seems to be a very good tactical coach. I don't think Arfield has, he said today he hasn't. The reason why he hasn't been playing is because Canada haven't actually played since last year. He said the squad is announced in a couple of weeks, we'll see what happens. If he is called up, I hope it's not at the costs of us. I think the whole squad seems to be together, they all want it. There is a cohesion between them.
