Your festive Friday hypothetical is..... who would win in a match between 11 Joe Allens and 11 Danny Batths? Any insight on the teams' tactics/formation/strategy most welcome. 27/12/19
20/12/19
Back by popular demand (ahem). This Friday's pointless hypothetical follows in a similar vein...
How many of these 11 crap-to-middling former players would improve our starting lineup now?
- Kyle Lightbourne
- James O'Connor
- Diego Arismendi
- Bjarni Gudjonsson
- Peter Handyside
- Marcus "The Punisher" Hall
- Mark Prudhoe
- Chris Iwelumo
- Clive Clarke
- Darel Russell
- Justin Whittle
6/12/19
In how many outfield positions would Trent Alexander-Arnold improve our team?

In how many outfield positions would Trent Alexander-Arnold improve our team? I think 14 .(including kitman.) |

ALL and I am including in nets as well.
Edit: in fact he'd be a better CEO than Scholes as well.

Paradoxically given that he's nominally a defender, it's the defensive positions I'm not sure about. I could maybe see him as one of the CBs, but would an Arnold-Arnold pairing really be solid enough? Better than Arnold-Batth or Arnold-Indi? (Assuming the best version of our players)
Wouldn't Badou get a look-in at DM?

I think if it were possible to have a clone of Arnold in every position in our team including the goalie I reckon we would without doubt have more points than we have now.
We really do have a bang average team considering the vast money that has been spent. And its a bang average team that is performing way way below par. The senior management, whilst obviously masters of deflection of responsibility, must deep down feel very ashamed of themselves for assisting in the creation of this utter shit show. For real positive change on the pitch everything from the very top down needs to be re booted and re structured because whatever it is they are currently doing it has been failing for a minimum of 4 years now.

(Assuming the best version of our players) Wouldn't Badou get a look-in at DM? He's got one thing none of our current centre halves as got which is pace, so I think he'd make a good pairing on that basis. When the inevitable mistakes occurs at least he's got a chance of recovering. Not sure if he's disciplined enough for defensive mid, but his passing ability (& again pace) mean he's ahead of ours and if we're bringing it out from that back much better choice. Finally, it would be nice to have someone who can take a decent set piece consistently. |

Its a hypothetical answer 🙂 Fair doooos I reckon it's probably about right though. Batth/Indi for one CB slot, Badou for DM and one of our strikers (as hopeless as they are they know the position, AA would be completely lost). Trent can do the rest. |

Not sure why the OP limited it to the outfield players.

You should do more of these Friday hypotheticals. Maybe next week it could be what would have happened if Carto and Tony Scholes were recruited to run Man City back in 2008.

I miss the days when we used to have proper multi syllable names at the club like Jean Eric Maxim Choupo Moting. Im afraid Cameron Carter Vickers just doesn't cut it. So yes from that point of view I'd be all in favour of a Trent Alexander Arnold on the team sheet.

In how many outfield positions would Trent Alexander-Arnold improve our team? Any, as long as they don't use him to sell some items from the club shop. It'll start a race war. |
