Harrison Reed - Official: Signs for Fulham

As others have said, I hope playing regularly for a manager that lets him play his game should do wonders for Harry. I too have seen his potential and would be disappointed if he doesn't get a chance to be a first team regular at Saints for a manager who gives him a free reign to fully show his capabilities and one who won't drop him after he has played well. He put in some great performances under Pochettino who showed faith in him when Morgan was unavailable. He also put in some great performances under Koeman who then promptly dropped him. Everton at home where he was largely responsible for closing down their midfield making tackle after tackle and not giving up when others would, is a game that particularly stands out.

 

Let's hope he has a great season at Norwich and then gets a good chance back at Saints the following season.

 

Not sure that's correct re: Pochettino. In his time here Reed just started the one game and came on as a very late sub in a few others.

how many Chelsea youth players actually get to regularly play in their first team after a loan?

 

The Chelsea model is outstanding and very successful

 

Buy cheap > loan out > sell high. They dont need to play for the first team.

The Libero became outdated when it was rumbled, some Italian managers then moved the libero (sweeper) in front of the defenders to allow them to be more playmaker and defender such as Desailly at AC Milan, hence the front sweeper which has now evolved into the defensive midfielder or even two. The popular formations being used today have mostly been around for half a century or more. Ramsey played 4-1-3-2 in the 1966 world cup as stated by Nobby Stiles in his book rather than the 4-3-3 popularly attributed. Stiles did however man mark Onega against Argentina and Eusebio against Portugal with Ball Charlton and Peters in midfield behind Hurst and Hunt.

Lets hope that this is just what he needs, playing regularly and for a lad with comparative small stature getting some decent experience and even more hardening up against some of the monsters that inhabit many Championship teams....... not that he has ever seemed to have a problem in this department.

He was very good for Norwich today. Tidy, pressing and his passing was a class above the rest of the Norwich team (quick to make the pass especially when under pressure). Fulham are a joy to watch - young, fast and very attacking.

Makes you wonder why we've been ****kng about with him the past 2 years. Should have gone out on loan both seasons. Players at his age need first team games, whose to say that with 2 years and 60 championship games under his belt, he couldn't have played a decent part in our first team this season?

IIRC, someone posted on here a while back that the club did look to loan him out a couple of years ago but Reed was keen to stay to try and break into the first team. Agree that the club should have probably tried harder to convince him otherwise if that's true.

Hmm lots of safe square balls, unnecessary second touch of the ball and passes back to the keeper - wonder where he learnt that.

 

He's done far too much of that in his career so far from what I've seen: needs to be more attack minded but his current manager is another one who likes 'possession'.
