Thirsty Lizard 3,187 Posted December 5, 2023 There's probably more chance of pigs flying, but maybe, just maybe Sorenson can get fit and stay fit and have an extended run in his supposed best position. We've had very limited evidence to judge on so far, but what little we've seen of him playing there suggests that he should do a reasonable job at Championship level. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a Danish bacon gag in there somewhere but like those pigs, they seem to be going over my head. I still want to see a Lungi and Forshaw double-pivot but accept there is probably more chance of Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman releasing a sex tape.

RobJames 921 Posted December 5, 2023 Ah yes, lets get in another player who is told not to mark. Stay away from the opposition, and give them time on the ball. When different commentators and his sidekick are pointing this out regularly, then it should not take much to grasp where the problem lies - and that is not getting some supposed specialist player in. As soon as we get the ball, our players are closed down (marked), whereas we just shuffle around the middle of the pitch hoping that the opposition will give up possession through some fair share of possession delusion. As long as we continue this absurd tactic we will continue to ship goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im hoping we dont see Sorenson back in the first team again. For me him, Hernadez and PP need to be shipped out and replaced at some stage in a squad refresh.

When he's been fit he has never been able to get in the team in the middle and that's under 3 different managers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Godfrey on loan anybody? 🙂 I know, the wedge Everton would want, given their ffp come uppance, would be off the scale, unless perhaps there's a full-on fire sale, but a nice thought. Btw Talksh*te allegation has Spurs maybes in for him in the window - if true anyone got a handle on terms of any add-ons in our deal? Can't believe there'd be much if any of a mark-up, but possibly a percentage of any sell-on ??? Anyway, If he's been on Spurs radar Knapper should have the inside track and re add-ons Webber did cut some very good deals for us as well as those bad 'uns.

I suspect he may of been earmarked to help in 24' after a period of settling, but seeing as he is on loan, we should have formed a fair idea of him by now. Was highly regarded by his last set of fans.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odd starting choices and playing people out of position doesnt help, however he seems to be getting results by the skin of his teeth currently. I am hoping Sainz becomes more involved in the next two games and we can start playing players in their traditional positions especially with players returning around xmas time.

We get results because strangely we are one of the better teams in the division. Not as good as the three who came down or it seems one other unmentionable team but still better than most. Mystery why Sainz doesn't start more, maybe due to a lack of defensive dilgence. The CBs couldn't pass the salt and we have tactical problems OOP but we are what we are. Average.

He chases back a lot more than the likes of Hernadez & co. I suspect they are breaking him in gently and he did look way off fitness wise not long ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arsenal now went out and spent £100m on this exact type of player, not to mention numerous other examples of a number 6 in top clubs.
