Dele's too important to our attack to drop him deeper, though he's capable of playing there well.
Kane thrives on Dele's assists. Dele also times his runs into the box brilliantly and has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
We can find a cm partner for Winks externally I'm sure.
Heat map suggested Harry was all over the pitch so not sure what Poch is thinking by thatcomment.
Poch is by nature a defensive possesion oriented coach....and we will not often see the fee flowing attacking football being displayed by Liverpud and dare I say it le arse (against Chelski).
So mixed messages for the lad from the manager I feel.
Not sure poch would want to see Winks galavanting into the box at every opportuntiy to the potential detriment of his midfield duties....confused.com
Agree...he needs to be given his head
Let's hope his injuries are well and truly behind him and this will be a season of progress; he gives us possession, now he has to give us more upfront, he must add goals to his game to be the player I know he's capable of becoming.
Well done Winksy.
Interesting. Not saying he hasn't got the talents to scheme further up the pitch and get involved in the assists and goals stats but I just have a feeling he'll be our "sitter" this coming season like Jorginho at Chelsea. He'll be deployed deeper to set the tempo and it will be Ndombele playing the box to box role, hopefully with other attack minded players like Lo Celso?, Ceballos?, Dele etc involved. The mind boggles, but if we're moving away from the Dier / Wanyama dependency of the last 5 years then I think Winks might become our deepest midfielder with license to go forward.
Chuffed to bits to see him sign a new contract.
