Joelinton: will not play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

Numerous options to get through the last 4.

 

1. Miley/Willock/Longstaff in as much a like-for-like as they can get.

2. Gordon comes back into the XI, Tonali & Bruno as a midfield two, double pivot or whatever it's called now, and either Barnes just off Isak with Gordon on the left, or vice versa 

3. Botman back into the side and we replicate how we played against Arsenal in the cup.

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

 

 

 

We've been crying out for a bit pace at the back so I'd go gordon as well

The next few games should suit Willock, at least. He’ll get far more space and opportunities on the counter. 
 

If ever there was a time for him to get a run in the team and play himself into some form……

Willock will be fine there, got two top internationals in the other two CM positions. We’ll just miss his combativeness when we play Arsenal away, but outside that, should manage things and any dropped points won’t be because of no Joelinton.

Hope he grabs it with both hands like Harvey did! (He does like a goal v Chewsee).

It’ll be Willock, for sure. Think the role in our system requires a lot of running and I don’t think Miley can cover the ground.


Tonali could do it with Miley playing as the #6 (or Bruno back to #6 and Miley RCM) but Sandro has bossed it to such a massive degree in that spot that trying something else before such a huge run of fixtures would be a bit mental.

A good sensible decision, much better to miss the last four games and do it more harm and miss six months of next season.

Willock will raise his game I'm sure of it. Him and Miley will both help get us over the line and into the Champions League.
