[Albion] Ferdi Kadioglu **Singed 27/08/24**

[Marshy]

Ferdi RB and Pervis LB please.

They’re our first choice full backs as far as I’m concerned and now they’re both fit, they need a run of games in the starting 11 to build understanding with the other players.

Their pace will be essential against Chelsea.

I would agree with that. 2 full backs with half a yard of pace and good footballers.

If not this weekend it must be close before they are both starting.

 

[The Fits]

Firstly, Ferdi isn't a left back anymore than Hinsh is a RB. We've not signed him to start ahead of a fit and in form Pervis. Bit of memory loss here re Perv. At his best there's very few better left backs and he makes Mitoma better. Ferdi will play RB more than LB, I guarantee that.

 

[Han Solo]

I wouldn't be super surprised to see him start as RW in front of Veltman to have a little bit of extra defensive solidity. No one has claimed that RW spot so its certainly open to experiments.

 

[The Fits]

Yep.. actually really like that with Hinsh on the right of CM. Loads of stuff going on with that combination.

Not convinced. The majority of Ferdis games are LB

Pervis has been pretty crap for a very very long time

He was fantastic that first season though

Last season he was primarily a LB, but the season before he was a RB.

When he signed for us, this is what Hurzeler said “He is predominantly a full-back and can play on the right or left side; he can also play in the center of midfield,"

I may be reading too much into it, but he listed right side first, so maybe a clue as to how he views him.

And re Pervis, its hard not to be a bit crap when you're injured.

Going completely OT here, but humans always naturally favour their dominant side.

If you make two identical queues, the majority of people will pick the right hand queue because they are right handed. For this reason, left side queues invariably are quicker than the right.

The opposite happens in advertising, for example a movie poster billing, because in the West we read left to right, that’s why huge stars demand to be billed on the left as it is “first”.

Yet we let Barco go as soon as we agreed Ferdi. Who sees himself as a left back

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Where you putting Hinshelwood ? Listening to Fab in his press conference he's more or less saying he gets included 'somewhere'.

Central midfield. Him and Ferdi could interchange in a fairly fluid system making it harder for the opposition to track them.

Wieffer, Adingra, Enciso and Minteh on the bench will all provide options to change the dynamic of the set-up depending on the match situation.

Not a comment on where Ferdi's best position is but I think we let Barco go on loan because, despite his undoubted talent on the ball, he needs a LOT of work in terms of his defensive game.

So 4-3-3 if Veltman is at RB per your post.....leaving Joao or Welbeck out presumably.

Goodness knows how Fab is going to pick a team when everyone is fit

Probably he's somewhat relieved that eventuality is almost certain not to occur!

 

[Machiavelli]

Agreed we need to match their pacey players as least with a team that's not slow. I would go with.

Bart

Ferdi
JPvH
Dunk
Estupinan

Baleba
Hinshelwood

Minteh - not been effective going forward but quick and works hard defensively.
Georgino
Mitoma

Welbeck

I'd go for more pace at the back (bring in Ferdi at RB) and more overall solidity in midfield as Chelsea are flying. I also don't think either of the two that have started RW warrant another start, so I'm thinking:

Bart
Ferdi JPvH Dunk Pervis
Hinshelwood Weiffer Baleba
Rutter Mitoma
Welbeck​

 

[Bodian]

Imagine Ferdi and Mitoma down the left. If I were a right back, I would be scared.
