We’ll just have to wait and see but hope I’m wrong

Hope I’m wrong obviously but if Howe starts the same eleven against Brentford I don’t think we’ll win. Teams know how to prepare now and what to expect. In the Brighton game when three nil down to not give Lewis hall a run out for me to see what he brings going into the Brentford game is baffling.

Bruno and tonali just don’t work together it seems. As much as we take it for granted we miss the winning of longstaff and / or willock. The balance is all off for me. I reckon he’ll stick with it longer but I genuinely feel it doesn’t work and they’ll be more defeats before it gets better.

Play is a strong word

Completely agree - he says he picks on form but nothing backs it up

Its gonna be use him or lose him soon I reckon if we keep ignoring him

I have all my Leicester, Man U and family Sunderland’s supporters texting me asking “what’s happened to you this season?” So it’s not just us overreacting on here I reckon either

Makes it easier when you play the same lineup every game

Doing the same thing every game and expecting different results is a bit crazy.

Well then - I guess it’s the equivalent of the wife taking the shit stained mattress out thinking “that’s that” and the husband coming along and bringing it back in the house.

You still can’t just say “we should have moved him on” - he’s the equivalent of a shit mattress left outside your house and thinking “someone will take it overnight, sorted”

Yes

If he was better then some of our midfielders, never got injured as much then he could have made it as a 70th minute substitute from time to time /s

In all fairness - even though it’s a shite model, most good back better for the loads, broadsword, broadband or whatever he’s called, Diablo and simms all did.

Nothing to challenge, they’re not the linked like we were

Disagree - that’s very short term thinking, livs has been bought as a long term plan.

Good for him - he seriously deserves some game time this season after the summer performances.

I don’t understand the reference, what cos the Sun say? Edit- nevermind

We never ever beat Liverpool when we had ASM either, let’s not start making him into this match winner now he’s left.

We’ve never beaten Liverpool with maxi in our squad either so let’s not go rewriting history here. They used to beat us then and still are.

But Gordon is still obviously registered in this hypothetical 11 with isak on there right. That’s a crazy amount of games for the front three with no rotation with all the cup games and CL games - even if gordon moves into middle to cover some.

I think we’ve got too many games this season for them both to play, we have to find a system where they can rotate effectively as we don’t have a third striker.

longstaff coming on (I’d have brought on Anderson as he’s been immense in the summer) lost us the game.

You are correct - fact
