This is just an assumption more than anything else, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hall is being benched by default in every league game going forward, unless there are more injuries.

Maybe. Just saying, that's not what the consensus was in here like 2 weeks ago.

Yes, but we could've rotated Hall and Burn for example. Or Livra.

This one is important to point out. Most here was making it out to be that it was obvious that Hall was going to be the starter based on this, and arguing against any suggestion of Hall not being the starter. After 1 game, which wasn't even horrible, all of a sudden it's the right thing to do to drop him.

Howe usually doesn't rotate like this at all.

I think it would be better for him to be given a spell of games, if he's just going to play the odd game here and there and get some minutes at the end, it's not easy to get into any sort of rhythm. But, for the team as a whole, maybe it's just a risk short term.

Haven't scored in the last 35 minutes, so unlucky!

Also tripple cap here. Absolutely beautiful.

Yeah, maybe playing Bruno as striker wasn't the disaster that Froggy was usikg to excuse bad performances after all.

I recall @Froggy complaining about not having a striker available and having to play Bruno upfront, like it was the worst thing imaginable. Now they have Zirkzee and ETH is consciously choosing to start Bruno as a striker instead.

Less than 4 hours left boys. Will he tear it up again? The forum is eagerly waiting.

Yeah, he will probably get more consistent with age.

I think scored 4 in a cup game (maybe it was 3). Was very on and off. Didn't score that often, but when he did, he often went on to score even more. What you would call "explosive" in FPL.

Maybe BBC has been shown the messages, and deemed them unsolicited? Isn't that what unsolicited means, like unwanted? English is not my first language. He might be making excuses to the public to make himself look better from the outside.

Now I feel bad about bumping this thread, only to realise that I would've been revived in 15 hours from now anyways. Atleast the first poster won't have to scroll.

It's what every guilty person says, isn't it?

Hmm.. No new post since wednesday?

Must admit I'm starting to feel a bit nervous myself. If he doesn't do all that well, we're never going to hear the end of it.

Evertons entire defence is out with injury or suspension, it's a lot of fun having Pickford now.. Don't want to transfer a GK.

I guess luck goes both ways. Had Eze gw 1 and got scammed. I don't have Solanke.

I think it is, but I think it will be us giving in to improve the bid even further closer to the deadline, in lack of alternatives. And Parish's ego skyrocketing from managing to squeeze a little more out of us by using hardball tactics.

Rarely right, but barely ever wrong in a literal sense.

I wouldn't count Isak as a real option on the left.. He is much better as a striker, and we need him there anyways. Especially when Wilson is out. Big Joe seems settled in the middle. It's just Gordon and Barnes pretty much, isn't it?

Apparently overseas commentators doesn't have good ears. Like honestly. "Eddie Howe" and "Lewis Hall" needed to be slowed down?
