Think I prefer Boufal as a no. 10 but Boufal is a bit more flexible with his positions. After Tadic days this is his favoured position and his performance yesterday what do we think?

Big fan of Tadic, but I'm not yet persuaded he is our best no.10. Mainly because I don't trust him to finish chances from 6-10 yards out, so the central position is a bit wasted on him. I'd keep him on the left.

Do we play with a number 10?

If we did I would have Tadic as IMO he is one of the best creators in the league.

 

We don't -and frankly Tadic has struggled whenever he's played in a more central position. Don't know why but he's always been more dangerous coming off the wing.

No though Tadic seemed more central from the highlights I saw yesterday so I don't know if we changed formation or if Tadic was just moving there under his own violation. I still think we'd get more out of Boufal if we did play with a 10. Not sure about Tadic as shurlock says he generally seems to do his best work out wide.

When Tadic is on form he is unplayable, very much like Hazard for Chelsea except that guy does it most weeks while Tadic can be **** too often.

Boufal to come on after 60 minutes replacing whoever that's not doing the business on the pitch.

IMHO When JWP and Tadic are playing well the whole team click.

Did you actually watch the game yesterday? Tadic played as a 10 with the option of drifting out to either wing, Ward-Prowse and Redmond started wide then drifted into the 10 spot when Tatic drifted out of a central role. We tucked into a 4-4-1-1 to defend.

 

To me it looked much more effective than the 4-3-3 than we've been stuck in for ages.

In an ideal world the 3 of Jwp (or Redmond), Tadic and Boufal in behind the striker should be fluid and swap places as the space and need arises!

Have them interchange...

 

Boufal offers f*ck defensive cover to his fullback though.

 

I'd argue he's growing into that role quite well unlike Gaston he's not afraid to put his foot in and help out !

Yes I did. Yesterday he may have played as a no.10; but to this point, we haven't really played with a no.10 (as you acknowledge). Too early to say whether this is anything but a one-off, let alone whether Tadic is suited to this role given he's disappointed in it before.

Jose won't give Tadic the space Sunderland did. When space is at a premium he's better coming off the wing IMO

Puel said after the game yesterday that Tadic's best position he feels is central as he was yesterday and that he would continue there. Feels he can be restricted by the touchline reducing his options on the ball.

 

Tadic also said he likes playing there and in a 4-2-3-1 feels it is his best position and where he plays for Serbia.

 

Tadic also said he thinks this 4-2-3-1 suits us best and gives more forward options than the 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 diamond.

 

Well worth a listen:

Claude at the start then Tadic 2nd half.

I think Tadic is effective anywhere in the 3 behind the striker, it's just his inconsistency that lets him down. Give him a run of starts and hopefully he'll do better.

 

He's had a pretty decent run, particularly at the start of the season. I'm just hoping that he's the type of player who will shine in a big game like a final . His performance against Man c last season was sublime, hopefully he'll repeat against Utd

And at the start of the season he looked phenomenal, then dropped off a bit when the big run of games and rotation hit.

How do you explain yesterday which was his best performance of the season...from the middle?

 

Well TBF and not trying to take anything away from Tadic, who played really well, but he had a ridiculous amount of time and space yesterday. There is a bit of the O/S highlights were literally everyone is playing at walking pass and Tadic is strolling forward with ball and takes a shot totally unchallenged by a single Sunderland player his best performance has to be taken in context of how poor the opposition where after the first 20 minutes.

When Tadic is on his game he is brilliant. Boufal looks the same to me. Trouble with both of them will continue to be consistency and for that reason whoever is in form should get the shirt. If they are crap swap them over. Rotate in other words :lol:

Real quality number 10's are very difficult to come by, Lampard will go down as one of the best we've ever seen due to his goals but people forget his work rate and amount of tackles/interceptions per game. You won't get the same from converted wingers in my humble opinion!

Lampard was a "no8" IMO, conceptually and literally. He was a genuine central midfielder, making his goalscoring record even more remarkable.

Boufal is IMO absolutely wasted out wide with his ability on the ball you need him on the ball making something happen as much as possible which just doesn't happen when he is stuck out wide.
