Err..

My point is we've got Lascelles, Schar, Burn all fit and yet we're still going to have to play Paul Dummett in order to rest players. If we'd moved Burn into CB to cover for Botman we could have used Targett and Hall at LB (Who don't worry me as much as someone like Dummett) and kept them more fresh.

It strenghens our depth IMO. Schar, Burn, Lascelles at CB and Targett/Hall at LB sounds better to me than: Schar, Lascelles, Dummet at CB and Burn/Targett at LB.

Based on the fact we're probably going to start Paul Dummett LCB tonight.

I wouldn't mind moving Burn back to CB if Sven is going to be out for a significant period of time. It would strengthen us at CB and we could try with Targett and Hall at LB. Wont happen mind.

I'd go: Dubravka Livramento Schar Dummett Targett Bruno Joelinton Willock Almiron Wilson Gordon

I think he's signs regardless of appearances.

Never a pen, but will take it.

Ritchie ?

Least we'll be in Europa if it all goes tits up.

Nope.

If we can somehow get away with losing him for just this season we've had a result.

I understand he needs support but at the same time he must have known this could happen so I feel a bit bitter about it tbh. He's fucked us basically.

Still a big loss, I know he's come and played more as a no.8 but he's still one of the only players who could possibly play that no.6 role. Willock, Joelinton and Anderson can't. Miley could but he's still young and I have no idea about Hall as a midfielder leaving only Longstaff.

Wonder if we'll bring him back short term to replace Tonali.

Looks like he hasn't bet on sports, give him all the support he needs.

What a mess, I think I'd rather us just terminate his deal if he's going to miss 18 months+.

Where's the Ashworth/Howe stuff come from?

Bet he was buzzing about that salary increase when he signed.

Yeah gambling doesn't really have anything to do with how much money you have.

Hope tomorrow on his YouTube channel "I'm just walking down this lovely lane here, now there's only once place start and that's Sandro Tonali. Eddie said last week that Sandro Tonali is a quality player, and I think he definitely has talent but last week I went for a coffee with one of my good pals Steve from the Mail and we both concluded he's fucking shite."

Fuck sake man please don't do that ?

Where's this?

Bit OTT, he was definitely a lot better. He kept it simple with his passing and retained it well but didn't do anything special to describe his performance as "Wonderful".
