Or is there a world they can both play, obviously we might change tactics anyway but seems like we're gonna have a lot of players to fit in!
Apparently mainly played as lone CF but not sure that works in PL, he’s pretty lightweight. Doesnt seem to have played wide forward ut he probably could or I would imagine more likely a front 2.
Reckon the idea will be.
4231 with Wood up top as before, Ndoye, CHO, Hutch, Macca wide. Jesus to come on 60 mins when Wood knackered.
Kalimuendo is our much needed plan B when plan A not working

It’s deffo gonna be wood for now, and hopefully having Jesus and kalimuendo behind him will light another fire beneath him. He scored 20 goals and signed a new contract and he won’t wanna lose his place so it’s on him to be good in the 60-70 mins he’s gonna be getting

Allows us to switch more effectively to a back 3 and front 2 as and when required.

I think after a it will take a Month or so for Kalimuendo to find his feet but this is a completely different proposition this season with 4 competitions and it won’t be 1st/2nd/3rd choice its about rotation

I have a feeling with a stronger midfield and more quality in squad depth to rotate during games but also rest occasionally this might be a real breakthrough season for MGW.
We need more conversion numbers from him and it feels like this will be his season to get there.
Makes you laugh that Tuchel choose to give Henderson game time haha.

Would love to know what was being said between the two just before the penalty kick yesterday. Something was going on, for sure.

For all the issues around him being in the England squad i can imagine Henderson is an alright chap who players like.

There was definitely some sledging going on. I just couldn't work out who was giving and who was receiving.

Aye something like that. He's basically like a player coach from how it was described.

PFA awards are tonight. Wonder if we'll have anyone in the Team of the Season or if Nuno will win the Manager award. Probably not but you never know.

Think this discussion was elsewhere, its clearly between 3 for the manager, The title winners in first season, the first trophy in 70 years or the huge improvement.
Milenkovic has to be in, surely.
