Callum Wilson: offered 'incentive-based' contract extension (Ornstein)
STM replied to Strawberry's topic in Football
You can't replace something that doesn't exist. Let him go, save the wages, plan for the summer. -
@PaullyGiving them shit in his pink top. Good lad.
-
I think he'd be class in midfield but it would likely take 15 games for him to get to grips with it and we simply don't have that sort of time. We also don't have a better left back option, so it's no bueno. I think we all need to accept that as a young lad he's going to have the odd howler but I think his long term potential is worth it.
-
He's possibly the most talented player I've ever thought might cost us a goal at any second. His talent on the ball is phenomenal. I've said before that he's the closest player to Bruno we have in terms of awareness, close control etc. His short and long range passing is also fantastic. I know he loses it from time to time but I can live with that because he's trying to play the right pass, rather than the safest one. If he can iron out his defending, he will be genuinely elite IMO. If I can use another comparison, he's very much like Luke Shaw, who's another great technical player at left back. I think Hall could go further. There's also a lack of natural left backs in the England squad, so the future is his if he wants it. How old is he? 19?

Looks poorly coached to me but then I don't know ball.

I'd go: Pope Tino Schar Burn Hall Tonali Longstaff Bruno Gordon Joelinton Isak Keep Bruno on that left for his link up with big Joe. Longstaff can sit a touch and allow Gordon to operate further forward. Longstaff gets pelters (and rightly so at times) but there's no doubt the team seems to function better with him in there. The most crucial thing is that Tonali starts DM. Even if we don't win, a good performance with these new roles will reshape our season.

Tell your boys at Wor Flags to get something special lined up.
-
Can't ask for more. Great chance to reach a semi.

I know this isn't the Chelsea of old and I also know that it's not their strongest line up, however I feel some are in danger of not seeing how big a win this is. Knocked a big club out of the cup. Another QF for Eddie. A win. A clean sheet. Another goal for Isak.
-
I swear it's staring us in the face. Let Tonali play DM and free up Bruno.
-
Bruno looks a different player knowing he can run forward with freedom.
-
Tonali getting a set piece.
-
Lloyd Kelly finally looks up to speed. His pace is class.
-
Asking to concede here. Keep the ball FFS.
-
Tonali still in DM with Bruno on the pitch. Hallelujah.
-
Change needed. Perfect for Bruno to get his foot on the ball. Get Miley on too.
-
I think the next sub will be Murphy for Gordon.
-
Hopefully Howe sees this as a chance to kill off Chelsea. Get Bruno on for Willock or Longstaff but please leave Sandro there.
-
Not so good Sandro.
-
Doesn't need to.
-
I bit and now regret it..

Swap Bruno for Longstaff in this formation and see how much better we are.
