That was more my point, fully realise he has been poor there previously - more imagining what he could be like if he did work on the headers, positioning, etc.He needs to learn to header the ball before it can even be considered. If he does, f*ck me, he will be a colossus.
He’s played there on two other occasions, one bad. Tonight he’s been superb.He's been absolutely atrocious when played there in the past.
Bassey was a CH, we converted him to LB!Realise it's only half way through one game but given our current centre half situation can you see Calvin being converted and moving inside over the long term? He's got age on his side, the physical attributes and would just need the mental ones.
I was watching or listening to a German podcast on the bundesliga and they were touching on the evolution of the game their and how more managers are looking at Wing Backs with certain attributes to play centre half as the way forward or the new tikki takka.He needs to learn to header the ball before it can even be considered. If he does, f*ck me, he will be a colossus.
Hopefully can be coached but his positioning is poor. He had a great game tonight. Worked really hard but he was up the left wing at one point. 10/10 for effort.To much energy. Has no positional discipline but that can be taught.
If Gio can harness that energy and talent then he is one hell of an asset.
We wouldn't have had that nice wee goal if heading was banned. ;-)Nope, think I can count on one hand how many headers he has won, maybe if the ban heading from the sport it’s a possibility
That for me was the biggest difference tonight. Defended from the front, takes the pressure off of the back 4 and always on the front footHe can play that position but obviously not his best one.
With the teamwork tonight, we could have put big Mohsni back there and been ok.
I still think hat hairdo he sports fucks him for heading.He doesn’t win many headers in that position so I’d say no
Is the correct answer!Bassey was a CH, we converted him to LB!
Good point, I think he'd make a great LCB in a 3He’s great on the deck and would fit quite well as the third in a 3 man defence.
He doesn’t win many headers in that position so I’d say no
