Regardless of manager, you are going to need defenders to step up, close space between the DEF + MDF lines to reliably play a high line.
It is why I like A. Robinson as a LB target: assertive, intense in his duels, proactive in his engagement, 6ft tall.
26 y/o, floor signing.
Not a guy that will come in & be the springboard to the 21st league title, or 4th UCL trophy, no.
What he does bring to the table is attributes that can translate a manager’s ideas onto the pitch. Control achieved by means of winning 1v1 battles, assertion of authority.
In the early stages of a rebuild, you need players who are representative of the long-term vision: how do you want to play? What principles are going to be central?
I would imagine (hope) an intent to play high, intense, will be in INEOS’ considerations. Starts from the back.
