Bryan Ruiz 24 goals

[MJG]

So, forgive me for being stupid here but what position does he play? Or should I say what position will he play? Suppose we may have a better idea of that answer around 11 tonight, but is he a striker? Or someone who contributes goals but isn't what you might call a #9?

from my Dutch acquaintance :

He is really good, talented etc... Can play on the wing, as #10 (or classic Dutch AMC, the role behind the strikers) or can play as a striker. I think he is at his best if he can roam around the pitch behind the ST (at Twente Janko and De Jong play in front of him).

He can finish very well and has the ability to be a game changer, he is good at set pieces and has a fine pass. Not really weaknesses tbh.

So, he's basically Clint Dempsey?

Hopefully he's a lot quicker and a better passer.

I still think it's time for a formation change.

Murphy - Sidwell
Ruiz - Dembele - Dempsey
Zamora

With Ruiz, Dembele and Dempsey interchanging obviously.

And falls over less.
