Bring Tonali off the bench in the second half. Give him a standing ovation to show our support. That might give him the motivation to come back from his suspension, feeling like he owes us. Pope Trippier Lascelles Schar Burn Longstaff Bruno Anderson Miggy Wilson Gordon Gives us Joelinton and Tonali as subs, which should give us some life in the second half.
-
Joelinton, Willock and Anderson is more than enough to cover LW and LCM. I wouldn't want to be taking any more long term absences though.
-
He will get 8-12 months, we will back him and hope that when he comes back, he's the player we all hoped. Yes he's made a mistake but he's young and rather our club was seen as supporting their players, than throwing them to the wolves.
-
Pep couldn't give a fuck about anyone else man, the bloke can just cherry pick whoever he wants to replace Phillips.
-
Yeah, thank god non of our fans like to get dramatic or over react.
-
He was quickly losing his place to Willock or Joelinton anyway IMO. From a footballing perspective, it's not the massive blow that it might have been. We also get a January window to add a player if needs be. Let's hope he gets the best support possible and somehow remains around the club. Is he still allowed to train (ways around that I'm sure), is he allowed to be in the ground and around the place etc? I'd like to see him at every home game, that would be a good starting point.
-
If there's anything wrong with his attitude, Trippier, Wilson and Pope will know about it. So that's the end of that nonsense. It was always an odd signing for City. They like to pass the opposition to death, which just isn't Phillips game. He's much more suited to the likes of us or Liverpool, where it's about running power and pressing. Given the 40m sums for Barnes and Gordon etc. I think if we could get him for that, I'd be a no brainer. If we can get him on loan first, all the better.
-
Yep but the point is that he said UP TO 12 months. That's rather specific.
-
Hope says up to 12 months, I don't know if thats the limit. Thank fuck we are loaded and can just sign another CM in Jan if needed.
-
Nee wonder they sold him.
-
Yeah, he looks fucked to me.
-
I'm not even THAT bothered and I'm not sure why.
-
Not sure where the truth lies but I don't trust the Italian justice system at all.
-
Another example of Barcelona thinking they can penny pinch because they are Barcelona.

Most infamous Italian crime story since Amanda Knox.

Champions League 2023/2024: Group F (Newcastle, Milan, Dortmund, PSG)
STM replied to Marko NUFC's topic in Football
My calculation had the average at 12.5 last year but that was including group winners Therefore 11/12 should see you through the group. I'd suggest that winning our remaining two home group games will see us through. -
ESR entirely fits our current MO. Would be really fucking helpful if one of these lads could play RW wing though. AG, HB and ESR are all right footers who have tended to play on the left. Can one of them shift to the right?
-
Spot on, especially the bit about characters. He's the polar opposite to Bruno and probably needs time to mix and feel comfortable. Language is a huge part of that. I think it's worth mentioning, we've beaten PSG and City with him in the side and it wasn't as if we were carrying him.
-
You can't change Bruno like. TCD is right, at some point he will pick up a suspension. Its up to NUFC to make sure we have an able deputy.
-
Some great replies on my Aaron Ramsdale shout, which was only a half suggestion if I'm honest. Pope is class and as has been suggested, replacing him is near enough impossible.
-
Pope is fantastic and I love him but don't think for a second that signing Aaron Ramsdale hasn't crossed my mind.
