We will get murdered

Worrying.

Now that would be an insane duo to have in the middle.

Will Shelvey be able to run on to Bruno G's throughball, or Wood with his pace? To utilize one of his best assets we need someone to run on and actually able to score. Willock offers that chance more so than Shelvey ever will.

Schar and Fede I would see if are able to get up to the same shape they have been able to produce before. The rest, fucking bin'em.

The stats tell the same story though, unless we suddenly set up to cross it at any opportunity he is not really effective. He is route one. But he is all we got after we daftly wasted 25 on him rather than putting that aside to use for an actual striker.

Wont happen, Howe loves shelvey too much to drop him.

It is quite the conundrum that people think he is amazing.

If we go down and lose this man, I will cry.

Anyone but us, hopefully. As we should look at way way better forwards than him.

Do you have faith that they will step it up is more the question though, and if yes, please give me the same faith.

Still 5. Getting two amazing players in Bruno G and Trippier does not excuse a semi-improved CB in Burn, a slightly better Dummett in Targett and.. Whatever Wood is supposed to be. I think the Wood signing was full on panic and I have no faith in a guy that was in a slump in a team built around him coming here and scoring when we barely cross, and the only good crosser we have is Trippier as of now. We are going to be in the struggle all the way down to the line without the two attacking options and it will show against Everton imo. EDIT: The biggest reasoning for Burn not being great is that we dont have a pacy partner to play him with, and I think that will cost us, badly.

Not that striker though

Pray that somehow Wood manages to score goals.

5 at best. We lack any threat bar ASM. Band aid'ed some poor areas, but it's still going to be a bumpy ride

Can't see any goals besides ASM. This went from winnable to please let us draw real quick.

If this is true, our folks are fucking stupid if they don't go for it

Someone to score goals? A threat from the right? Not put all our faith in ASM?

Yeah, let's just be happy with what we get no matter what it is, right? No reason to question if it can keep us up. I mean a none attacking LB, a CB that has lost absurdly many areal duels for his size and height. And two fantastic players. What happens if/when ASM gets injured or if Wood blows a knee?

I don't understand how people can believe that an out of form one dimensional Wood. A Gayle that is dire and a Fraser will be able to keep things going until Wilson comes back. Can't wait to see Bruno G get pissed off at the shit runs Wood will try to to make.

If we don't get any other attacking player we are gonna get fucked.

Well boys. Buckle up for an extremely bumpy ride. Our attack looks fucking dreadful ASM aside. Cross your fingers and pray to any god that he doesn't get injured.

Yeah, that does not bode well imo. Too much hinges on ASM not getting injured and doing some magic. That has me a bit stressed.

Do we have enough time to just throw money at Atalanta for Zapata now?
