When it comes to new managers, they always have to evaluate everyone at the club, from the staff to the players. Last year with Jason Kreis, the Ghanian midfielder and fan sensation Kwadwo Poku clawed and fought his way into the starting 11, will he have to do the same with Patrick Vieira?
Since coming over, the Frenchman has changed this club’s philosophies and tactics. Going from a traditional 4-3-3 formation to a very narrow 3-2-2-3 set-up, which requires him to use the bulk of his midfield. When he took charge, many believed that Vieira would fit Poku in his plans off the bat, but it hasn’t seemed that way.
