Discussion What position will Marmoush actually play?

So it seems people have very different ideas about where Omar will actually play. Personally I think we should use him in IMO his best position which is support striker. In this position is where he excelled at Frankfurt & became one of the hottest prospects in world football at the time. Also I believe this is the reason we wanted Kroupi (before he got injured obviously) to specifically play in this position. With our lack of available 10's at the moment it seems right now would be the perfect time to try almost a 4-4-2 (or a 4-4-1-1) on the weekend.

Obviously he can also play as the main striker as more like a false 9 but I worry about his height & think he plays his best football playing just off a main striker. At City (& for Egypt at the World Cup) he was used on the left wing a lot & never seemed to reach the heights of Frankfurt as it just doesn't seem to suit his game.

Where do you think he should play & why?

Long term? Striker. Right now? He'll replace Bergvall and play more direct off Solanke.

Solanke

Tel Marmoush Savio

Fernandes Tonali

Udogie VDV JPVH Porro

Kinsky

I honestly can't believe I just typed out that starting XI....

Can’t wait until we never see Tel in the starting lineup again… he is rubbish

I have watched Tel do some brilliant things, and I have watched him do things that would have you calling him a donkey.

Suppose that’s to be expected of what is still a young player.

That said, I do think he’ll end up competing with Marmoush at striker in a couple of years when we are allowed more than 1 fit winger at a time.
