Would favour him at LWB over oddjob any day. FM2020 has him as an Inverted Attacking Winger on the right as a natural position. Perhaps they know something none of us do!!!!!

Sefton owl Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 3 hours ago, beloved_aunt said: Where is he gonna play this season? In a 3-5-2 the obvious place for him looks like LWB but he had a horror show there against Swansea. Then maybe you’d say centre mid. But you’d say Luongo, Bannan, Brown and maybe Hunt and Fizz ahead of him there. So I can see him playing 10 just off Rhodes for the first couple of games unless we get more forwards. Oh fizz off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Surely our coaches can see that Reach on the right and Harris left means our forwards (assuming we get some) can’t run onto early crosses. I hate watching our wrong-footed widemen checking back time after time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Still think he's the best crosser in the squad. Brilliant when he has space to run into. Which is pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 4 hours ago, Holmowl said: Assuming we play 352 I hope to see Reach and Harris as our wing-backs week in week out. I hope we FINALLY see Reach on the left and Harris right. If we change to 442 sometimes Reach is our best LW by a distance. Hate him as second striker. OK in CM in an injury-crisis, but not ideal. Left midfield in a 442. Left wing back in a 343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does appear to play more naturally on the left but has probably had more success playing on the right. In our two best wins last season, away at Boro and Forest he played on the right and created at least 3 of the goals, his long distance goals we all remember came when cutting in from the right. It is a debate, and depends on how the rest of the team sets up but it isn’t as clear cut as it seems. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheriwozgod Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Said it this time last year and i will say it again.....unless he adopts a more aggresive physical AND mental approach then his career will fizzle out into "what might have been". Unless he does this exact thing then we should offload and get what we can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 On last seasons form he's vastly overpaid which is why we'll struggle to move him on .....unless he really hits his straps before the window shuts he'll be another one who'll be walking away for free next summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works hard every game and does makes the tackles just doesn't do the Row Z ones. Play him in a regular position and he will deliver. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a debate, and depends on how the rest of the team sets up but it isn’t as clear cut as it seems. Of course. But you’ve seen Kadeem’s inability to cross with his left, and his appalling shooting when he cuts in. Reach puts over a delightful ball from either side, and has scored some belters cutting in. Over the season we will gain far more by these two playing on their stronger foot. Though I’d love to see them alternating wings somewhat, especially if it’s not working. Reach and Harris offer very different threats, and we should turn that to our advantage. We also need to consider the role of WB. Neither of these two are Chopper Harris or Mel Sterland, but their defensive job is far harder if they have to block, tackle and clear up the line with their weaker foot.

If Reach plays wing back he will play on the left like he did at Swansea . We have not seen Harris on the right , even when we played 4 at the back, but it’s probably worth a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendaryswan Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Don't think Monk rates him tbh,he doesn't fit into the way he played last season,hes not cut out for a LWB role and hes ineffective in the middle,hel be one of the 1st out of the door if we can get a decent fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
