The Prophet Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Aye. I know Miley was far from his best against Sunderland, but the difference when Joelinton went off was night and day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 It's crazy seeing clips of him from a few years ago. I know he plays like a different player but he looks a different man now. He's an absolute beast now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes Foden a more attractive FPL option for me. They'll score 3 and he'll contribute to at least 1 goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love us to try and have someone sit in front of the defence for the whole game, maybe even 2 but it won't happen. Bruno will try and press Rodri and they will slice us apart.

Geogaddi Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Joelinton a huge miss but not sure this game is the write off people are suggesting , if it wasn't for that daft Forest game that was just a one off fluke I think people would be a lot more confident . City have also lost at Villa , Arsenal and Wolves this season, failed to win at Chelsea as well. Edited January 10 by Geogaddi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not enough bite or athleticism in a midfield 3 of Miley - Longstaff - Bruno the way we setup. And Howe is unlikely to set us up differently to compensate.

Toonjam88 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Lewis Miley had to go for a scan on his knee after the O’Nien tackle but they were hoping it was just bruised. Still unsure if that rules him out for Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton Isak Wilson Willock Did we try to bring back Murphy with a jammy shoulder? Joelinton twice.. Third time he's injured with a muscular problem this season. We've basically had 4 central midfielders out of a large amount of games. Joelinton was also supposed to be a rotation option for Gordon when Barnes is out, but big Joe has either been injured or had to cover CM exclusively due to all the injuries in that position.

Probably best just to lower expectations of this game all things considered. A full strength Newcastle side can give City a game any day of the week, one with a severely weakened mdifield is unlikely to cope. It's a game we might have lost anyway, we need to make the points up against the lesser sides once our players return from injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Until Eddie rules him out on Friday, I'm telling myself Joe will play on Sat. If it'd been that bad, surely he wouldn't have came out for the 2nd half. Second goal was perfectly timed in that respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he came out with the intention to test it by running it off as it happened so close to half time. But I think he knew straight away from the look on his face and would have come off regardless of the goal. However I do hope I am wrong and you are right. But if he has any sort of issue, would the sensible thing be to let him recover to avoid potentially reoccurrence once again and then get him back fit and ready for the Villa game which maybe more winnable than this?

The College Dropout Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I remember Wilson playing for Bournemouth under Howe and Wilson and falling down and getting treatment. He got back onto the field and continued playing for another minute or two before sitting again. He had done his ACL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
