General Chat • Re: The Saturday Morning question - Your top 5 players at the club
If I was looking at the 5 I would keep rather than specifically talent it would be Kiko, Klich, Alioski, Hernandez and then one of Roofe or Bamford (dependant on who fits Bielsa's system better). These 5 for me fit into Bielsa's system more than the others.
A Kikoesque keeper is needed to play the sweeper role.
Klich gives us an element of control and he now has a season of championship football under his belt so I expect improvement next year - also an ever present.
Alioski, you need his legs for the system and you know he will give everything. As a full back he was scoring goals as a winger he should be getting double figures without breaking sweat, okay his crossing is a bit erratic but the energy and goals far outweigh this (or defensive frailties if playing as a wingback). Like Klich was ever present but for the last few matches.
Hernandez - just has that extra quality about him and his goals and assists cannot easily be replaced.
Roofe or Bamford - both should do better than last season if they stay fit but I still expect Bielsa to be looking for a new striker as such whichever one of these Bielsa prefers to keep is vital as we need someone capable of getting 25+ goals and they both are.
