An Observer Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 12 hours ago, costarg said: He forgot to mention best coach as well. I have to say watching that US match, I don’t think I have ever seen a Canadian CB have as dominant a game as Bombito. He really just bossed the Americans around. Tackled, won his aerial duals, covered any balls in behind, and was all over the pitch in our half closing players down. He also played the ball out of the back very well (although gave it away a couple of times). He just looked so composed, fast and such a monster to get around. If he can play like that consistently, he won’t be at Nice long. Corazon, Kadenge, johnyb and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Very fun game, Nice is dominaging, 4-0 after 35, St. Etienne already making subs. It’s insane how much ground Bombito covers. He’s playing as the central CB in a back 3, but I could’ve sworn he’s won tackles and duels on the left, on the right, and in the middle. Looks like their wingbacks are dropping back as a CB in défense which allows Bombito to roam a bit more. 5-0 as I type this. They should let Bombito play on the wing in the second half just because johnyb, sebdeserio, ahmedou and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 He was playing solid in the centre of a back three. I know we've been playing well, but I still think our best formation is a back three. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we've been playing well, but I still think our best formation is a back three. Theoretically a 3-5-2 swaps shaf/millar for a cm oso/choiniere/sigur. hard to say if that’s better, worse or equal. Players put in a 3-5-2 vs 4-2-2-2: bombito Cornelius Larin and David are probably equal. Aj is worse at cb staq choiniere and Kone are marginally better because of a 3rd cm. In a 4-3-3 they are equal Davies and Buchanan are better From a player profile, formation is not as big of a difference as what I used to think. I think our offense clicks more in a 3-5-2 but our defensive press would suffer. I’m not sure what to think anymore. costarg and ahmedou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it gets Davies into a higher, more effective position. While still hammering home his defensive responsibilities. Shaffelburg is our impact sub who is starting. Millar is still figuring it out on the international stage. Staq and Kone have way more freedom in the midfield, and Kone can be at liberty to create more. 4 hours ago, Bigandy said: Aj is worse at cb You say worse, I say he's just a better fullback but he can still play the position. 4 hours ago, Bigandy said: staq choiniere and Kone are marginally better because of a 3rd cm.

I like 4atb but had some big debates on here that our squad suited 3 atb. Aj can def play rcb but he’s worse at it than rb. it’s hard to argue Kone and staq would improve immensely in a 3 man midfield when we haven’t really seen it and there’s an argument to be made that David plays incredibly well defensively. Again I’ve argued fiercely that a 3rd cm could see them become elite but I say marginally until it’s proven. I also think our attacking identity was really transition based before. We didn’t have any solutions for low blocks. Similar to now. Shway and ahmedou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 If Larin can find his form again, we will score more. JH's 3 at the back would not have produced the same goals with Larin's current form. It's not like chances are not being created. Kone has had 2 monster games vs France & Uruguay in a back 4 and if our defence continues to be stellar, then I would expect Davies will be given the green light to attack more, similar to how he played in Bayern's last game. ahmedou, narduch, Corazon and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that would've made a massive difference to our already incredibly impressive performances since adopting the back 4. ahmedou and MtlMario 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted Tuesday at 01:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:47 PM That’s insane. Ndiyashime for Nice also had a very good game too, so for Bombito to make TOTW both in France and in Europe, I know it’s just a counting stat, but what a feat, especially coming back from a red. Not sure if the new game is out yet, but if so, I would imagine there’s a decent chance he gets an EA25 TOTW card too- I would assume his regular card has insane pace stats as is, so his boosted card would be absolutely crazy to play with. cronaldo7, ahmedou, johnyb and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
