Yes it is rare...but I have decided to create a thread.
My question to all of you...what is the single most needed thing we need to get this ship moving in the right direction?
What we have seen our team devolve into is a team with no other recourse but to bypass the midfield because we cannot possess the ball...at all... They have no other option but to punt it long and hope Sonny can outrun the defense...literally this is our only attack....we may be the easiest team to defend in the league...one dimensional.
So the blueprint is there...we need someone at AM that can receive the ball under pressure, hang onto it...turn and attack.
My answer - LAMELA
Now before you all lose your shit...let me explain. When I say Lamela...I actually mean someone with his skillset, his workrate, his technical ability on the ball...but yeah also someone that is physically more resilient.
--We sorely miss a player that ATTACKS relentlessly & aggressively when they have the ball. Seriously we have nobody on the pitch in our starting 11 that has that mentality.
--We don't have anyone that isn't afraid to attack right were it makes the opposition the most uncomfortable...right up the middle.
--We don't have anyone that relishes taking folks on EVERY time they get the ball. What makes a CB most uncomfortable...when a attacker is running at them...that is what.
--We really don't have anyone that is comfortable on the ball under pressure...Lamela actually is.
BL - We need someone in the middle of the pitch that can receive the ball, turn and attack! Draw defenders to him and release the ball with killer through passes to Son and whoever...
