P'head Red Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Now, I'm not suggesting Lee Tomlin should be anywhere but his No. 10 role for the time being, but as he gets older would he make a good deep creative midfielder? He has the abiity to spray balls all over the pitch, and if played alongside the right sort of midfielders could thrive in that position. Take his assist way back in the Blackburn game, a ball which he thread through half of their team from one end of the pitch to the other as an example, skipping out the need to tap it around in potentially vulnerable areas and putting it straight into one of the oppositions. Now I expect I'll be labelled as an arm chair tactician, but I expect it's something he'd be capable of if put in the right team with a mixture of pace and strength.

Jin Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 In my opinion, when playing further back in that role you need to do your defensive duties and I can't see him playing that position now let alone in the future. I think his best attribute is his dribbling and he has the licence to do that further up the pitch. I see where you're coming from with his ability to pick out a great pass but too risky playing him in a deeper position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't just do away with ideas about analysis, sport sports science and technology because we are doing badly right now.

Which could be a fair comment if we knew definitively how much impact analysis and sports science have on our training and set up. But we don't.
