Joelinton: will not play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

Yep, it's a blow. He always makes such a difference when he's in the side, made worse these days cos Willock isn't very good. 

 

Pointless wasting energy wanting Miley in the team so we'll just have to hope Willock plays himself into some form.

Wouldn’t be against just going with two in midfield and shoehorning Gordon into the team. 


More likely to be Botman no? Especially given some of the opponents we are up against. Really interesting to see our summer business as I really think we need to improve on both Longstaff and Willock next summer ideally.

Wonder if we see that formation we used in the cup against Arsenal a bit more, if Botman is fully fit.

 

Yes to this.

I don't know how much we can spend, I imagine we will but I doubt we will have enough to cover every spot that people want them to cover/replace. Of all areas midfield is the area we are least in demand of reinforcement to be honest. 

 

Right winger and a couple of younger defenders are the main priority. After that maybe a new goalie or backup striker, then finally a new mid fielder.

Has gordon ever played LCM for us?

 

Knew there would be people trying to get him in when Joelinton was injured

 

Surprised there hasn't been any 4 2 3 1 suggestions yet

It's between Gordon or Schar with Botman at CB imo.

Away to Chelsea in 22/23 iirc.

We'll miss his physical presence for sure. 

 

Willock will be fine v Everton, but his lack of defensive nouse will need to be covered in the next three.

 

I trust that Howe has been working on a solution since the weekend.

Huge miss, people don't appreciate how good he is until he's not playing and we look all over the place in the middle .  Could be the difference between 5th and 6th him being injured .

If Willock plays like he did against Ipswich Tonali will have to cover even more than he usually does.
