Robin Gosens

[crzdcolombian]

hope he starts tomorrow and builds his confidence up. WE need him to get to be half the player he was at Atalanta

 

[Ethor]

Played ok today, still lacking in being an attacking force. That being said, like him starting.

 

[CafeCordoba]

I don't get why we try to play as if he's Perisic. We should play with Gosens like we play with Dumfries, play balls to him for empty space, play crosses to the backpost.

 

[bubba zanetti]

Our midfield obviously dont trust him,they decline to pass the ball to him when he moves forward between lines. They just feed Dumfries over and over and over.

Is that the issue though? Whenever anyone passes to Gosens, he would just do a backpass to Bastoni. Dumfries would lose the ball half the time but at least he tries moving it forward. I don't expect Gosens to dribble past players but can he at least run? Tbh I'd rather have Dimarco on the left flank until we found a solution to integrate him into our game plan. Right now he's not that much different from Gagliardini - great guy but just ineffective on the pitch.

He passes it back because he hardly ever received the ball in space. Even when he had made good runs the ball never arrived.
There is a lack of chemistry currently.
It was still a solid performance for me. Involved in the first goal and a great header which he was unlucky to be saved.

 

[Raul Duke]

Both him and Miki looked lost in the system. It doesn’t help Gosens that they’re playing on the same side of the pitch.

Exactly. Noticed several times yesterday how he made runs behind the defence line and our midfield is simply not passing to him.

 

[bubba zanetti]

We need on Hakan spot player like Eriksen if we want Gosens to shine. Who knows to pass and cross in a heartbreat when Gosens runs behind defence of opponent. Sadly we have no player in midfield like that.

Yeah, sadly that's true. Brozovic doesn't have the ability to spot those runs AND execute a pass quickly enough.

 

[Materazzi_23]

That why it's so strange from Inzaghi to give Gosens not consistent playing time. I have the feeling this guy needs much playing time and confidence where someone like Perisic just plays his own game no matter what.

 

[Il Drago]

He has returned to Germany call ups. All in all, i am not very happy over our playing getting called up but i think it could do him good. He needs playing time.

 

[bubba zanetti]

From one of the best wingbacks in the league to third option to friggin DiMarco and old fart Darmian. No fkn way this guy forgot to play football.

I don't think it's that he's forgotten how to play football, it's just that he doesn't have a clue how to play Inzaghibol.

Inzaghibol seems to be something akin to - have you ever seen the movie "Team America: World Police"? That arm-waving thing they do to show shock, is similar to what I think is going on in the players heads as they each try to coordinate our "tactics".

Hahaha of course I saw. Mat Daaaamon💩

 

[Ethor]

Good luck with your National team assignment. Enjoy the winning attitude there.

 

[Corrode]

Inzaghi ball is shit. i'm done with it. Fuck Simone ball! no vision, no win. and fuck gagliardini as the operator too.

 

[YoramG]

Come on then, theory time. Why doesn't this guy play?

Eriksen 2.0. He was a Marotta/Ausilio signing and Inzaghi never wanted him.

Does this mean we have to wait for Darmian, D'Ambro, Dimarco, and Bellanova to be unavailable to see him, only for him to then have a revitalising moment against a rival which propels him to the starting 11 for the second half of the season?
