Liverpool are my most hated team.......and that should never have been ruled out.

Our attacking play all season has been like that due to not having a proper 9. It'll come.

If they dont think Hall can handle more than half an hour as yet......who would you suggest al LB ?

Fair point.

Whereas when Wissa comes in and we dont have multiple injuries to same positions (ie depleting LB] I think we'll come storming on.

Just realised Man Citys strip has diagonal on it. This a one off or have they had this all season ?

Probably best.

He's not to blame and hes definitely part of the cure.......but hes not a 9.

We did and we can, but it hinders if we know there's nothing at the end of it.

But he provided a threat (as in looking to get on the end of stuff) which Nick doesn't. He'll be an excellent link man but hes not a 9.

You think it was tactical ?

Given those choices....aye but it's close.

No arguments there.

No Burn after the break, possibly no Pope,off a couple of bad results, Howe can and should go for changes.......if only Wissa were match fit.

No.

Trippier is struggling in his favoured position right now. Givwn the choice of Burn LB and Trips RB or Trips LB and Krafth RB, its marginal but I'd just about go with the former

What's the alternative to Burn at LB if Hall has doubts over lasting and Tinos out, what do you suggest?

Ramsdale Hall Burn Botman Thiaw Tino Bruno Tonali Ramsey Nick Wissa

We can't 433 without a 9, and then its hard to change when both first choice full backs who can wing back are out. We need a decent Wissa alternative January otherwise I do t k ow what the plan is and Nick is a waste.

As much as I disagree it was a pen that should have been enough to have him subbed.

He's not a 9 and threats what we need. Him with a 9 could be devastating.

Do you really think the contact fells him or the thought of "i felt a touch, Im hitting the deck"?

Is contact enough ? I'll ask again, was there enough to send him sprawling or did he think, I'm touched, hit the deck ?

Stonewaller ? Was it enough to fell him ?

I'm not even sure thats a foul. Edit he should have been subbed 10mins ago like.
