in 2017 turns up and scores 44 goals he is the best goal scorer at the club and one of the best goal scorers the league at that time throughout the rest of his time at the club until this season he's been one of the best goal scorers in the league it's him or kane or him or harland that's how good he is he's been the best winger in the country in that same period and then as he developed he became the best number 10 in the country as well
The birth pains of getting rid of him and getting the new thing in.
And we've done two thirds of it.
We've just got to do the last bit.
And that, you know, that's why I am excited.
And I think there is a new team there.
It's easier to do this after you beat Fulham 2-0.
Fulham go and score and make it 1-0.
You know what I mean?
and as I say I think it's straightforward straightforward is not equally easy but loads of the decisions you've already made and I think we can just enjoy that and enjoy the prospect of that and say alright this is what you're going to do I'm sure these have got different wingers they'd like or different midfielders they want or different shapes and that's dead exciting yeah
He plays right wing.
So then how do you do your front three, then?
Well, you get someone who plays left wing.
And Ekotike and Izak rotate.
And Ekotike can also end up doing stuff, bits and pieces off the left.
And then every now and again, you will do the shape a little bit differently.
And then you end up in the fullness of time, as I said before.
probably one more year with Gakpo, waiting for Ingemo to mature that little bit more, and then suddenly you're picking, you go to five, by the time you get to 27, Gakpo's moved on, you've got five, Ingemo was one of them, the two wide lads that Stu's talking about, and the other two, and the two centre-forwards, where really, probably only Isak has a fixed abode, and the rest are where you sort of need them to go to for when you need them.
You know, for me, I'm not someone who, I'd like to see, between now and the end of the season, a couple of games where you maybe see Ekotike left,
tucked in, Isaac, and Salah's responsibility is make the pitch absolutely massive on the right-hand side, please Mo, and these lads are going to exchange positions, and Viet is going to move around.
