LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 From the first team only Wijnaldum, Sissoko and Aarons are going away on international duty. Janmaat has withdrawn from the Netherlands squad due to injury. It means Rafa and his team will get to work with the majority of the first team during the international break. He'll probably need to come up with a plan for when Shelvey is out as he is 1 yellow card away from a 2 game ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Very frustrating there is an international game right now. Gives us 2 weeks to work on a game plan for Norwich so may be a positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So only Wijnaldum and Sissoko then as Aarons isn't going to play regardless, i'd say it's a positive that the large majority of the squad get to work under him for another week or so and hopefully it bears fruit against Norwich.

Mistle17 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If he likes De Jong, then thank fuck The guy is brilliant imo, just needs a long run in the team. Improved us a lot when he came on. Quality player imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hopefully he finds a team selection that doesn't include Sissoko, and tells him to piss off when he slouches back from France duty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If we do go down, where might Rafa go to this summer? Apart from Valencia, I'd say most top clubs are sorted. Maybe I should stop thinking he'd somehow stay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably need to come up with a plan for when Shelvey is out as he is 1 yellow card away from a 2 game ban. Only has to get through the Norwich and Southampton games. Easier said than done, of course. But Colback managed to avoid getting a yellow for weeks. Only to finally get his 10th booking, against the mackems. Shelvey was launching into tackles and seemed really fired up, yesterday. But it's not like he always plays like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 How the f*** is Sissoko in the French team? Probably a good impact sub Pretty much, he won't ever start but he's decent cover for some of their midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Think the derby came too quick for his managerial reign here. The fans were up for it, players were nervy, relegation dogfight.

But still he managed to salvage something. I think there's definitely something in this. While the Norwich game is obviously massive, it doesn't have all the added spice of being a local derby and I firmly believe we'll beat them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 He has got almost the whole squad to work with apart from Janmaat, Gini and Sissoko during the international break. Hope he could also get some players back from injury too. And Mitrović. Who are you playing? 1 or 2 games? Didn't think he was going away as .com didn't list him being called up.
