First of all, I feel that if we don't make any signings, the FA Cup final lineup is already the best we can come up with. Among them, I am most worried about Reese James, because we all know that he is capable of playing the positions of midfielder, right center back and right wing. However, some current physical problems have caused him to only have a relatively good attendance rate in the two positions of right center back and midfielder. As a result, the right wing is in great danger. He will definitely play an extremely important role under Brother Long. Whether he is fixed in the midfielder position or the right center back position in the future, I think it will be particularly suitable for his tactical combination. Next season, no matter what, we have to gain experience for Hutto. This is my thinking. Although his performance in the FA Cup final was not very good, I think he is an important cornerstone of the future defense. In addition, Cucurella's location is really worrying. I won’t say much about the four midfielders, they are all world-class players. I firmly believe that Brother Long’s arrival will stimulate their talents.
Here, I intend to focus on two players, one is Palmer and the other is Jopay. Since Palmer's return, his form has disappeared. The way he plays football has also been criticized by everyone. However, in my opinion, his talent and core status will be difficult to shake in the short term. As for Joppe, he plays with a fighting spirit. Although his statistics are not particularly eye-catching, his playing style is obvious to all. I personally admire this type of player very much. But what is quite strange is that I think there is no problem with the players, but the team cannot find a weapon that can stably cause damage to the opponent. This was also the case in the last final, yes. In the first half, I felt that our players were very close to the goal. However, if you look closely, there are basically no really effective shooting actions. This is our current problem. Perhaps I am a little too heavy on the personal filter components of these players. After all, each of them has shown their unique talents when they have had great glory. This is also an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
Next, talking about the winger on the bench, I am not too worried about the existence of Neto. Although there will not be an iron position in the tactical arrangement, there must be a place for him in the rotation. Needless to say, the other two left wingers who only joined this season should be discarded candidates. What worries me the most is Wangzi's position. Of course, if Palmer's condition continues to decline in the new season, then the opportunity will come. There are actually quite a few players that we can streamline in the existing lineup. If we fight on a single line next season, there is still room for streamlining the lineup.
In the end, I think it is very courageous for Brother Long to accept a team like ours. If his past tactics were applied unchanged to our team, there would be many players in the frontcourt and backcourt who would not meet his requirements. There is a talented player like Wangzi among them. To be able to invite him, I firmly believe that the management has paid some power chips. So, let's see what happens this summer.
