He's been shit.
He used to be in great form during pre-season. Looks like he's not gonna do well this year.
I hope it's not bc he bulked up too much.

 

The season is almost a month from now. He's got plenty of time to get his act together.

 

I hope so..

 

Isn't it because he has normally been playing for the KNT in the summer? He actually had a decent layoff this time around so it makes sense that he would take time to get back up to speed. If anything I hope that he can delay hitting his 'wall' by a month or so, because it seemed like he hit it around March/April this past season.

 

Son started today and played 74 in 4-0 win and was subbed for rsw

1 - @Heung_Min_Son was the only midfielder to score a hat-trick in @Bundesliga_EN last season (4-5 vs. Wolfsburg). Unique. @bayer04fussball

By this logic wouldn't Robben and Ronaldo also be midfielders?

 

Weren't wingers always considered midfielders?

 

I think it depends on the country. I believe for some countries (Spain? Italy?) 'midfielders' usually refers to CMs.

But I also think a winger like Antonio Valencia is very different than a winger like Neymar. Imo Valencia would be a MF, Neymar a forward.

 

Maybe it's a good thing he cant score this pre season. He scored like 300 goals a couple of pre seasons ago.

 

the first preseason with Bayer he was on fire

 

Hopefully this just means he's controlling his fitness well so that he peaks later in the season than he has in previous years He's gotten some much needed rest. I'm excited for his season. I think he'll step it up another level.

 

yup i'd rather he have something left in the tank for the last quarter of the season for a change...

 

Yeah pretty much this. There are many roles of a winger. SHM cuts inside from the left wing and is generally there to attack. SHM is a forward imo despite being labeled an LM or some bs.

LCY doesn't really cut in and is looking to pass/cross, and someone who supports the attack.

guys like neymar, ronaldo, messi for Barca (not for argentina) are all inside forwards playing in the winger position.

 

Dang, some tough potential opponents for playoff draw
