Turns out Steve Bruce was right all along as Howe is overtraining the players and systematically breaking them down. Unbelievable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable! Or Shelvey's been doing gym work during the summer break without maintaining flexibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) I thought it was his knee mind. Looked like he caught/kicked the heel of the player and jarred his knee. Edited July 27, 2022 by reefatoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 he was playing really well last night, very composed on the ball and a couple of his over the top raking passes were very close to making a difference. he covered a decent bit of ground as well, actually looked faster than normal or maybe a bit thinner...

Agreed....and not afraid of the ball, like so many of our squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if he was a player who could really sprint and relied on it this would be bad news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Before his injury, I thought he looked really good last night, sharp, quick, pressing, nice quick early balls that were short and not the Hollywood type, yes he sat on top of the defence, but it allowed them an out as they could play into him. Hopefully his injury isn’t a serious one, mind I’d worry if we are starting with him next season or if he’s a regular starter. That’s the sharpest I’ve seen him given it was a friendly!

Jaqen Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Still think Jonjo sitting with Bruno and Joe ahead is our strongest midfield. Be a shame if he misses the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Given they way we’ve played this is a pretty big blow for the start of the season. I wonder if he’ll play Bruno deeper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) It's a shame for him as he looked in good nick. We'll be fine with Longstaff for a couple of weeks though, he seems to have a better on-field relationship with Bruno.

Happinesstan Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I'd be happy with either Willock or Longstaff. Willock has slightly outshone Longstaff, in the PSFs, but they both look up to the task. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be Bruno in the holding role, and Shelvey/Willock in front of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
