Anyone think that Araujo could play DM?

What's the obsession with plonking players into random positions?
Araujo is not a midfielder. He doesn't move, pass, run, play or think like a midfielder. Leave him in defence.

No, but every time I see Jacquet play he looks every inch a DM, he does all of those things Lowe has outlined and spends a lot of his time in the opponents half anyway.
Just for this season, mind!

Sounds outlandish but not a crazy idea at all. If tried, I'd go with Jacquet first. Both Jacquet and Araujo have the tackling and physical skills and presence to play there, but it's a big question as to whether they can marshall that entire width of the pitch in the middle with positional sense, especially when Kerkez and Frimpong are upfield.
Something as a last resort I would say; let's stick to Nyoni and see how he does over several 90 minute games.

Sounds sensible to me guys, I've often wondered why managers don't look at a squad and think: what players are playing really well in their position right now and how could I weaken the team by moving them to a position they've never played and then have to play other players who aren't as good as them to fill the gap I've just made by moving them.
How about we leave them where they are and let them do what they do best.

Crazy Horse strikes again lmao.

yeah play Araujo at DM, then Grav at RB, then before Dom is fit let's play him at LB.
01 Nov 2026 12:02:45
Why not play Araujo as GK? .Ali can be his understudy.

I jacket started as a mid.
01 Nov 2026 13:42:07
His passing is clearly not good enough for that position.
01 Nov 2026 14:31:17
We would be down to 10 men after 5 minutes.

Site pickles my brain sometimes @Duffer ha.
Day 1) Konate is a liability
Day 2) Frimpong is garbage, Bradley is a sick note
Day 3) Jaquet is a Rolls Royce CB future looks good
Day 4) Barca guy looks like the best loan signing EVER - solid RB and can cover across the back line
Day 5) Defense looks way more solid
Day 6) Anyone think we should rip it up and stick em in midfield haha.
