Rml Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Whilst I agree we are lacking creativity in the middle,the 2 players we've lost in there over the summer didn't exactly fit that mould and look at the season we had. Will SC look to keep Power/Dicker/Wilson protecting the defence and try to get it in someone who holds it all together (like Mulumbu) whilst exploiting opposition down the flanks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Whilst not exactly the most attacking midfielders I felt Mulumbu and Tshibola were a lot more comfortable moving forward with the ball than the CMs we have at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Mulumbu IMO did fill that "mould" in that he was strong on the ball and wanted to move the play forward quicker either in possession himself or to look to pass it on in the right areas so vital we bring in at least one more midfielder who can help us going forward was hoping Kiltie might develop more under SC as a creative player ---and used in a more deeper role as feel his chances of getting a place "up front" will be more limited 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulumbu in particular is the box to box midfielder you're describing. Tish too, but not on Mulumbu's level. Are you thinking of a Kiltie-type, number 10, popping with double figures? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby14 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I think Steve Clarke knows what we need, what system to play and who to play in said system. Don’t lose any sleep over it lads, we’re in good hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eremenko more the creative Mulumbu was best of both types imo, could do the dirty work in midfield, make space and find a pass, lovely skill at times aswell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrogate Peter Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 For me the biggest thing about Mulumbu was that he read the game quicker than anyone in the league. That meant he could perform all aspects of midfielder at that level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbk Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 And he was probably the best shielder of the ball as well as very strong in the way he could hold off opponents when in possession of it a total class act! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Would last seasons system be as effective with a similar player to Mulumbu but of lesser quality. Realistically that’s what we could be looking at. With the raw pace of JJ and Ndjoli as well as the likes of Erwin, Brophy and the slower but clever runs of Boyd and also the attacking fullbacks I suspect a decent passer who plays with his head up could do a lot of damage in our team at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rml Posted July 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Agree with this as well...I suppose the crux of it is Mulumbu was of such high quality for our level that it didn't matter if he was creative or box to box,he was the best midfielder in the league when on form and SC will hopefully replace as best he can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing im sure we need nore than anything else is somebody with a little creativity in the middle of the park. Power and Dicker dont have this and should be allowed to go about their game of breaking up play and ball winning. #1 priority is.... for me. A cretive midfielder. Mulumbu had it all but somebody that can use the ball please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
