Juno 2 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yep, Edu's going to be just fine. He's fast and likes to get involved too. Going to be a top US international player in a few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGers 96 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I would love to see Edu get more playing time, but barring injury, I don't see the Mendes/Ferguson tandem being tampered with just now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him operating behind those two, with a front three that includes two wingers, much like our 4-5-1 last season, when we attacked as 4-3-3.

It would be interesting to see, but does getting Edu in the team merit dropping either Boyd/Miller? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wreckedroy 33 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Now that Ferguson is back there is no "Thommos role" Edu will provide cover for midfield and, in case of emergency, central defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark 0 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Before yesterdays result I think we really lacked someone with Thomsons ability to protect the back 4, But if Edu is given the correct role I think he may not be far off the standard Thomson was playing at before he got injured, at least now we can say at least we have back up for most positions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledWeegie123 1,275 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 i think this could work: -------------------mcgregor--------------------- --------------------------------------------------- --------------bougherra----weir----------------- whittaker----------------------------------papac -----------------------edu------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- davis--------------ferguson------------mendes --------------------------------------------------- -------------boyd-----------millar--------------- no width i admit but solid in midfield with whittaker and papac getting forward,edu would allow davis and mendes to push forward which leaves barry and edu in midfield as cover,i feel davis and mendes have enough creativity and with millar too it could turn into a 4-2-4 when in attack,no doubt im talking shite but just my opinions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 If he did get Thomson's role, the only way that would make any sense would be dropping Ferguson (barring a formation change), and we all know how likely that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie 205 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ferguson and Mendes can't play in the same team. Unfortunatley the best players don't always make the best team. Would like to see Edu given his chance. We are missing Thomson badly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchestGer 347 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Edu would slot in nicely to Thommos role, its gonna be interesting how thats gonna be done though. I cant see Davis, Mendes or Ferguson making way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
