I'd like to see a 4 4 2 system with kean an dcl up front an see if it works.

DCL would perform better with a strike partner in my opinion but doubt we should change the syst to suit him. Maybe a tactical tweak during a match.

Apart from Bournemouth does anyone even play 442 anymore?
Too easy to play against nowadays and we'd be outplayed in midfield every game.

Burnley do as well, I don't think we have got the energy in CM to play 442, i think DCL should come out the team for a few weeks and see how Kean gets on from the start.

Unfortunately there is no sentiment in football for the successful teams anyway. As much as I’d love to see DCL rewarded for his hard work, he’s a striker that doesn’t score. That’s a problem for any top six ambitions. Drop him, and use him as a sub. Let’s see how good Kean is. If Kean is more productive then that’s how it should be, sadly for DCL.

{Ed025's Note - i think thats the plan ace, if silva had just thrown kean in then he was on a hiding to nothing and thats the same with iwobi as well mate..

DCL doesn't seem to be great when under pressure for his spot in the team.

A big difference between him and Kean yesterday is Kean looked like a centre forward and in the Aguero style. Not willing to come too far back to defend and instead was more concerned in being ready for that pass to attack. he's selfish and I love that in a striker.

Being out of the team might do DCL good but having Kean in there is important for us.

I think everyone agrees that DCL is not going to be a prolific goalscorer, although give it a couple of seasons and we could all be very pleasantly suprised. However, there are other options for him. He works hard, he has talent, he's a pretty big lad, why not utilise him in the same manner as Firmino? Pants at scoring but certainly offers an attacking threat that creates a lot of goals.

Makes perfect sense Ed. It’s just a shame DCL hasn’t got a few goals to give him a bit of confidence because he does so many other things well. But it’s all about scoring. Hopefully he can get a few off the bench if/ when this plan comes about.

{Ed025's Note - hopefully ace, if he learned to score he would be phenomenal mate as the rest of his game is great..

I'd loan dcl, perhaps to a bundesliga team, move on niasse, keep tosun for cover and have richarlison as an option for cf.

The problem with Tosun is he doesn't fit our style at all. So keeping him as cover is a bit pointless imo. If we were to loan out DCL then we would have to get someone on loan for the season who suits our play style, someone like Icardi would be great but obviously never happen.

Can't argue with that swan.
