JamesGUEST
Um, and that's the feeling this season as well, especially when you've, we've kept the likes of Jarrod Bowen.
JamesGUEST
Tomas Soucek's still injured.
JamesGUEST
When he comes back, he, he'll be crucial.
JamesGUEST
Mavropanos at the back.
GaryHOST
Yeah.
GaryHOST
That game last night, I've got to say, that would have been a perfect surface environment, you know, wherever to bring on Thomas Soucek for him, right? But he weren't available last night.
GaryHOST
Might be available on Friday.
GaryHOST
But it was a real We usually lose that game.
Jack EldertonHOST
Uh, physically, can he be an important player for us across a championship season and maintain a good level? Yeah, I, I, I know we're gonna get that.
Jack EldertonHOST
Um, it's just does it box us in a little bit on, uh, on the tactical side of things, especially with Thomas Soucek set to come back into it? Um, yeah, it, it feels like there'll be a lot of double eight options on offer and, and not really that kind of set fixed deeper midfielder who can help protect us a little bit more and, and be a little bit more consistent taking the ball off the center backs.
Jack EldertonHOST
It is worth saying the early signs for Engels adapting to more requirements to, to give solutions in, in, in first and second phase, like good.
Jack EldertonHOST
Like he's, he's, he's moving in the right direction on, on, on this side of things.
Jack EldertonHOST
Um, so you know, perhaps if he can continue to, to do so, he will be really excellent, um, for us at championship level, and then presents a really nice option for us as a kind of like long-term Thomas Soucek, uh, replacement if we are able to get promoted.
Jack EldertonHOST
So if it all works out In that way, and he, and he's worked out perfectly even if it's a big risk if it, between him and Prem to do this kind of thing.
Jack EldertonHOST
At the championship it ends up working out really well.
Justin PeachHOST
You got, uh, Migasara and Alvarez linked with exits.
Justin PeachHOST
Then you've got Soucek and James Ward-Prowse, who are both older.
Justin PeachHOST
Therefore, that defensive midfield slot's lacking a little bit, and right wing obviously with, with Jarrod Bowen being the only solid option.
Justin PeachHOST
Very solid, worth bearing in mind.
HGPANELIST
And so like a- as a midfield three, it functioned, right? And it functioned well.
HGPANELIST
And I think that Fernandez, when, when West Ham were, were rolling and getting points under, um, under Nuno last season, and it, you know, almost caught us, um, they basically just had Soucek next to him.
HGPANELIST
But again, Soucek was doing the dirty work, um, so that Fernandez had a bit of...
HGPANELIST
And I still worry that it feels as if De Zerbi has committed to this, we don't need someone to do the dirty work because-
BrendanHOST
Mm
Jim GrantHOST
It was, it was...
Jim GrantHOST
It freed up the space for allow us to play Fernandes alongside a, you know, a slow Soucek as a, as just a two in-
Phil WhelansHOST
Yeah
Jim GrantHOST
... midfield.
Joe DevineHOST
JPB.
Jack Pitt-BrookePANELIST
Thomas Soucek.
Joe DevineHOST
Thomas Soucek.
Joe DevineHOST
Well, Thomas Soucek, I think you mean.
Jack Pitt-BrookePANELIST
[laughs]
Joe DevineHOST
Come on, let's get him while-
Jack Pitt-BrookePANELIST
Yeah.
Joe DevineHOST
Yeah.
Justin PeachHOST
But as I was saying, he, he, he's that technical option in that midfield.
Justin PeachHOST
He's gonna offer more in possession than the likes of Soucek, Alvarez, Orford, Kanté, Ward, Prowls.
Justin PeachHOST
The technical specialist, the, the passer, the link-up, that's what they needed in, in there.
Justin PeachHOST
And I think with like Matheus Fan-Fernandes leaving, they clearly need to replace it.
