Richy fits the profile of an Ange CF. The new kid from Argentina as well.
Yes most definitely mate, don't think I was hiding that haha!
Nah but seriously, I'm forever grateful for what Ange did for Brisbane (my hometown) and Australia which is why I'll always be a supporter wherever he goes.
Definitely got a tough job on his hands here but fingers crossed you guys will understand why he's got a cult following soon
It's hard to pinpoint because it obviously happened gradually, but as I remember it, Kane started dropping off the front line, once Poch left and we got boredom manager 1 & 2. To be fair, it has also coincided with Kane truly coming into his own as a well-rounded footballer. Still, I can't help but feel people are putting too much emphasis on Kane needing to drop, dictate play and spray passes.
It'll make a lot more sense for us as a team and for Kane as an individual player to stay on the shoulder of the last defender, when we actually try to dictate the match as a team and don't just sit back.
Kane has spoken before about how he's become smart enough to read the game; drop when the team needs it and stay up top otherwise. If he stays at the club, he gets to prove it. Which I'm sure, he will fwiw.
Ange would be a complete fool not to utilise Kane's ability when dropping off to receive the ball deeper. If Ange's worth his salt, he will set up two different ways of player movement in attack - in very broad terms, I know - where one is the way, he usually prefers his teams to operate, and the second is triggered if and when Kane drops.

That's what I wonder about. Kane's headers will still be there but he won't have as much room to turn and shoot. If the video earlier in the thread represents what the system looks like, then it is hard to see Kane receiving the ball near the goal and turning to shoot (which he does well). Almost by definition when he gets the ball down that low he's got two men defending him and less of the goal to shoot at. If he is where he normally has been before now, he is further away from the goal and has more angles to shoot for.
That quality is rare. I would think Ange ball can be adjusted to fit the qualities of the top #9 in the world.
I agree.
I don't think he suits the role on the left. However, I do think he'd be much more useful up front in this system.
Hope so...can't get any worse
I live in hope...Yes most definitely mate, don't think I was hiding that haha!

Having watched a couple of YouTube videos I have ascertained that he likes playing inverted strikers who flank a mediapunta.
They need to run the channels on the half-turn as they transition into the pocket.
Hope this helps.
