Barnes back in the squad

Interested to see how we approach this one, feel like our normal style will play right into their hands.

Interesting update

Got to say I’m really excited by the names linked, we are seemingly targeting someone more transfer focused which is the best way to go imo.

Newcastle 1-2 West Ham Bournemouth 0-1 Everton Chelsea 2-0 Burnley Forest 1-1 Palace Sheff Utd 0-2 Fulham Spurs 3-1 Luton Villa 2-0 Wolves Brentford 1-1 Man Utd Liverpool 2-1 Brighton Man City 1-2 Arsenal

Did Tom Huddleston have a peak ?

Probably the right way to go considering our financial restrictions.

Still think RW is the priority.

No, we would be able to rotate to keep Isak fit.

Brilliant that

The more sides involved the better imo, more likely to push for change.

And we are seemingly going to be very restricted with what we can spend.

What does Howe have sway over now that you don’t think he should? Not having a dig I just haven’t seen any reports.

Or we sign a Kelly on a free ?

We probably aren’t going to agree with each other so I’ll leave it there. My main point was that I think across the season everyone at the club shares a portion of blame. Whilst accepting we have had horrendous luck on the injury front, I do think more could have been done to avoid it being as bad as it has been. No doubt lessons will have been learnt to avoid a repeat.

I do expect now Anderson is fit for him to get in ahead of Longstaff for a while mind.

I’m not laying the blame fully on Howe, I just think to say he doesn’t take any is wrong. The longstaff one as an example, he’s having injections in his foot to get through games. Miley could play instead.

I don’t get the argument you are trying to create ? If a manage openly admits to playing an injured player and they then pick up another injury he shares part of the blame?

They do, and Howe has admitted it, so the suggestion he doesn’t have any blame is wrong imo.

He has admitted that he is playing Longstaff who is carrying an injury. Don’t think it’s mad to suggest he’s doing it with other players either. I don’t think anyone is blameless in this injury crisis this season.

Pretty sure he’s been injured

Not to mention we are missing Tonali for the start of the season, could be longer as well with the FA still investigating.
