Starts tonight. With Mirallas playing top probably
it s not his best position but he can't be worse than lukaku...Looks like Adnan could be starting at centre forward tonight.
I did say early this season that I can see him ending up there, at least as a false 9 anyway. Excited to watch him develop over the next few years.it s not his best position but he can't be worse than lukaku...
I think he has played there for us in the reserves, sure I've seen people/himself say he can play thereBit odd that isn't it considering he's never played there before? Glad to see him starting though.
Yep, pretty shoddy...I think his shot needs the most work... there were many times this year where he'd done a ton of great work but his end product let him down. I would think over time that will only improve.
Actually a brilliant idea mate. I kept thinking we'd see the best of him centrally but rather as an AM which will never happen, but as a striker who seeks the wide areas he'd be bloody brilliant to be fair.I did say early this season that I can see him ending up there, at least as a false 9 anyway.

Not to be pedantic but he played there against Norwich in the league cup and against Chelsea away, IIRC.Bit odd that isn't it considering he's never played there before? Glad to see him starting though.
He played there vs Wigan in the Community Shield I seem to remember, along with in pre season friendlies and reserve games.I think he has played there for us in the reserves, sure I've seen people/himself say he can play there
His shots against Sunderland were great, but he has skyed quite a few shots recently and over the season. He definitely needs to work on his shooting. At least he has the courage to beat a player and then take a shot though.Yep, pretty shoddy...
It's confirmed, he's starting.I am not sure he will start, have not seen him on the "pre"-starting line up
Yeah definitely. Warren Joyce played him as a false # 9 for the majority of the reserve team's 2012-2013 league winning season. Infact he believes that's Adnan's best position becase he'll have more freedom to drift between the lines and use his higher intelligence levels to spot weaknesses in opposition defences.I did say early this season that I can see him ending up there, at least as a false 9 anyway.

And if you ask our Reserves coach [Warren Joyce], who had him last season, he’d say he felt his best position was no.9. He played there for the Reserves.
Yes, very mature display from him at Stamford Bridge. He was strangely dropped almost immediately after that game, though. Moyes is such a weird manager.Not to be pedantic but he played there against Norwich in the league cup and against Chelsea away, IIRC.
He's had a few games/spells there. Chelsea away, Fulham away too.Bit odd that isn't it considering he's never played there before? Glad to see him starting though.
Oh come on. Obviously he scored goals... that wasn't my point.Yep, pretty shoddy...
Shit, I now have to watch the gameIt's confirmed, he's starting.
i know. very frustrating. he's just not getting a piece of it at all.Give him the freaking ball
I agree, on the basis of today's game he should not be behind Mertens in the pecking order- that's if we consider his defensive contribution.I rly enjoy Januzaj's defensive runs. He's really spending alot of energy closing down whereas Mirallas or Mertens doesnt. He reminds me alot about Welbeck when he closes down the ball on both sides of the pitch.
