Re: Tim Iroegbunam
I dont get this "he leaves gaps behind him" statements....then he's good going forward ? He cant do both at the same time !
any player who presses forward is going to leave space behind him ! it's up to the players behind him to be aware of the space and cover it where possible....
the alternative is he sits in and doesn't push forward....doesn't create forward passing chances...doesn't create chances...doesn't create scoring chances for himself and others.....then he'll get called for not being progressive enough "and just sits in".....
Keep doing what your doing Tim....it works for me...and we're better for it...

It's not one or the other it's where and when, and it's a case of what the rest of the midfield looks like.4evablu wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 5:37 pm I dont get this "he leaves gaps behind him" statements....then he's good going forward ? He cant do both at the same time !

Because Tim likes to push on and likes to try and dribble with the ball which are both great qualities, but he does like to do both of those things a lot, there's quite often space behind him. Our other midfielders are Doucoure who is playing as a second striker who gets back in flat during off the ball stuff it means he's often ahead of the ball, Gana will be pushed up trying to support or 30 yards back trying to cover, so the whole midfield behind Tim will be *maybe* Gana on his todd.

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
I really need to see a proper DM brought in and paired with this lad and a Branthwaite/JOB paternership behind them. Tim can be as aggressive as he wants then because there would be a solid base behind with a higher line

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Honestly a bit baffled that you can't understand it tbh.
If you play two midfielders and one of them is constantly running off with the ball, the other one is left on his bill.
What bit don't you get?
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Mad how we've stumbled upon the worlds best CM with no weaknesses for £10m ffp credit.
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Already seen multiple tweets about how he's either better than Onana or a better fit for us than Onana was.
Insane stuff, looks like he has potential and do think he will get some chances here to show he's a premier league player. But would be good for supporters to give him some time to see how he develops.

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
Because he’s played in the premier league before, Dyche has a huge domestic bias.Kerryblueboy wrote:Great to see him doing well genuine question though why was he put in the team from the off and not the others also isn’t he an example of why new players should be played from the off thrown in from the off and has done well probably lucky that garner got injured otherwise might not have played much
It’s why we’ll see Ndiaye starting quite quickly too
Re: Tim Iroegbunam
The way Dyche usually does things is to play what he knows initially and then give the new guys a chance to impress if that doesn’t work. JOB will play soon if Tark and JB aren’t available. Ndiaye will also start getting games.
Tim has actually bucked the trend, but mainly because of a lack of available options. But fair play to him, he has grabbed his chance and it will be difficult to get that starting berth off him now unless Dyche goes for a change of setup.

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
He’s looked good but one of the QPR pods said he was largely anonymous in the Championship last year. He’s young and might’ve taken a leap in development but you just know there’ll be bedlam if he’s ever dropped/rotated/subbed. One of my mate’s compared him to Gerrard.

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
So he’s going to get involved in stomping people’s heads in with his mate’s, and his bird’s going to get down with a local gangster?

Re: Tim Iroegbunam
He’s started well but I think he might fade as the season goes on if he plays every week. He’ll be used as a impact sub rotation option which I’m more than happy with
