BonesJones Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 20 minutes ago, wormy said: Didn't in anyway forsee feeling so bad at the idea of him dropping back to the bench on Botman's return. Am honestly starting to wonder if Howe is going to tell him the spot is his to lose even when Sven's fully fit. Think keeping him in the XI would send a great message to the entire squad! Proof that if someone has to drop out, then you come in and perform it really will be your spot to lose. Obviously it's hard to make that decision simply due to how good Sven is.

Even starting him against Palace with Sven fit enough for the bench sent a message. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 They exploited the channel behind Trippier. He could've done better on a few occasions in that space. I think Howe & Trippier himself are more at fault for that though. We should've sat Trippier in more and left less space in behind him. We've done that before when teams first targeted us there.

I've never rated him particularly but he's a full German international with almost 50 caps 100+ games for Bayern. I would've thought he was first-choice. I know ow that Schlotterback or w/e he's called is highly rated too. And everyone knows Hummels. They had 5-6 well-regarded names on that bench.

Yeah I think yesterday’s game is a bit of a reality check in terms of where we’ve come from. We’re a very good side and plenty of our players - Miggy, Dan Burn, Murphy, Longstaff have all done well but eventually those players will be upgraded to the next level. More clinical, greater depth and options from the bench. I’m just enjoying the evolution of the side and the progression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to struggle to maintain results with that. Most teams would. But your Man U's can deal with it much better than we can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 He seems to take more time than he should on the ball and doesn't strike me with the most confidence when he is on it, but like the others he's played way more than he thought he would in a short space of time so we need to cut him some slack.

Lotus Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 He’s decent but not as good as Botman or Schar. When Sven is back we’ll look a bit more assured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 He’s a back up centre half - I think he’s done bloody well considering the time out. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him swapped out next summer, but I hope he’s loving every second of playing at the minute. Other than a single blip (being positive about Ashley in an interview), the lad has been professional and committed to the club since the day he joined. Next season would be his traditional testimonial year, but if he does leave in the summer I’d still like to see the club give him one. He’s one of our longest serving club captains, after all.
