[Opinion post] Left wing (by /u/tocitus) (self.reddevils)

FeezbullGiggs が 投稿

So /u/tocitus sent me a message saying he's travelling most of the day and unable to make this post on time. Helping him to continue his daily discussions here so all credit to him anyway.

I'm going to be submitting a post a day for each position on the team which should create some discussion until the season begins. These posts are to compare the current options and general discussions surrounding each position. Yesterday was right wing.

All stats for each player are compiled specifically for each position, not their stats as a whole

Player Age Joined Contract Expiry Appearances Goals Assists Points Per Game Goals Per Game Assists Per Game
Memphis Depay 22 2015 2019 (+1) 36 6 5 1.67 0.17 0.14
Jesse Lingard 23 YA 2018 5 2 1 1.60 0.40 0.20
Anthony Martial 20 2015 2019 (+1) 25 11 6 1.88 0.44 0.24
Ashley Young 31 2011 2018 (+1) 78 11 26 2.13 0.14 0.33
Adnan Januzaj 21 2011 2018 24 4 4 1.92 0.17 0.17

Possible Talking Points

  • Are you happy with the left wing options?

  • Are you happy with the rotation/back-up options available?

  • What are your thoughts on Memphis and Januzaj's future?

  • Any promising youngsters you foresee playing a role for us in the future on that wing?

Tomorrow I'll post #10 spot.

I've seen it suggested that Martial might regress a little this year given his huge workload last season and Euros, so hopefully he's fully fit and recharged because he should have LW locked down this year. We'll have a lot of flexibility with subs, and last night the front four were moving all over the field. I can imagine a situation where Zlatan comes out, Martial moves up top, and Memphis comes in on the left.

At this point, I think Ash is a valuable glue guy. He's one of the few left that's won things with SAF and seems like an awesome dude, and for as much shit as he gets he'll always pop up with a big performance out of the blue.

Exactly. I love watching Young because you know he's going to put his all into the game.

Don't think it'll even be because of work load, every young player is inconsistent, I follow Ajax closely as well and I see the exact same thing every year, El Ghazi and Fischer are some recent ones.

I think Martial is the obvious starter, and should look to improve with less pressure from defenders due to Shaw returning and Zlatan warranting close coverage from CB's.

I think he'll actually spend a decent amount of time playing centrally. Zlatan will drop deep and Shaw will be overlapping, so he'll hopefully fill and exploit the space those two create. Those three attacking one side of a defense is terrifying. Do you choose to leave Zlatan free near the box, Martial to dribble in space, or Shaw running onto a ball down the wing?

I love Martial, but I am also hoping for a bounce back season from Memphis. Young, if he stays healthy and stops diving, could be a big piece in Mou's team moving forward. Adnan, I don't see playing for us anytime soon. I had big hopes for him when I first saw him play, but he hasn't progressed since year one. Lingard is the hometown hero. The Dabberman should get some significant minutes this year because of his work up and down the field, and his knack of scoring the big goal. Should be quite a battle moving forward.

Martial will be untouchable for both Memphis and the rest of the BPL defenders if he continues where he left off last season. Think Memphis will be sold next summer.
