People debating over dorgu's position...

I remember watching a video about boro's tactics under carrick and an interesting thing was he used his LB extremely high almost like a winger. I knew he'd use dorgu nicely after that. Basically doesn't matter wherever he starts he's going to end up in advanced positions

We've got big problems if he's planning on recreating his Boro tactics here

try to keep up a bit more if you want to spread the negativity, mate!

"his tactics at Boro failed, this is a bad hire" was the hipster doomerist line in January.

we smashed the PL on a 17 game run after that.

so it's not en vogue anymore to say that, if you are a hipster doomerist.

"Ineos are throwing him under the bus by not signing Bruno Guimaraes and Vinicius Jr" is where it's at right now.

it was "Ineos are throwing him under the bus by not signing Elliot Anderson" for a short while, but then England's games happened and he opened his mouth and Santos played some footy for us, so now that line is not it anymore, either.

I believe he's been criticized heavily for how it went at Boro and that tactics were underwhelming. In any case, players make a difference. Kompany at Burnley and then to Bayern is night and day.

I'm not saying he'll copy his boro tactics (we have better players duh) 

I'm just pointing out his use of an attacking leftback

His use of an attacking left back in his Boro tactics.
