Who would have thought ?....after that top performance off the bench against blackburn...we were crying out for him to start....and he delivers. Next lets get halme in for ritz and alter t he formation.
Definitely a game of two halves with him imo . First half couldn’t beat a man a putting us in trouble and that’s because of the defence we’ve got not him getting beat mind . Second half our most attacking option tbh .
Styles Is only young - but is already a better player than Mowatt and should replace him in the mid midfield position. Would like to see Halme at the side of him playing anchor midfield. Thomas and Simoes either side of them. Chaplin and another up front.
Hes not a winger...but i central midfield (if he has a decent minder) he has very very good energy and a trick or two. He offers something unique...not the finished article but a very talented young man.
Needs to start ever game centrally get an enforcer to play at the side of him and Mowatt makes the 3rd. I’d loved to see Dougall match fit with styles and Mowatt in front of him in a 3-5-2 system, odour & Ludwig more than capable to play the ring back roles. Back to styles we need to build a team around him next season playing in a 3 in the middle he’s has the license to push forward and drive at teams. He’s a massive asset who we need to start utilising.
