He'll come in on the left and interchange with Willock down that side if Maxi's hamstring is still not right after the break. Edit: he'll probably come in even if Maxi is fit to be honest.

Shak Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Aye in a perfect world he'd come in for Longstaff but we're so thin on the wings that putting him on the left to get that Willock linkup going is a no-brainer. Would love to see Targett in there too, think that trio down the left would be able to create some good stuff going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Eddie said ASM had a calf strain and was struggling, it's why he moved him in the middle the last 5 minutes of the first half. He had to come off.

Lush Vlad Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 ASM struggling with his hamstring still, apparently. Certainly looked like he wasn’t trying to go past players the last two games. Hopefully ASM is fine after the break and I’d keep him on the left. But As much as I’d like to see Joelinton come in for Longstaff. It’s an easy call for Howe to bring the Big Joe/Little Joe combo back on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 dont know how to post insta stories on here. but there's a great one him sat at home waching Isak's pel go in. his little lad runs past the telly in a toon shirt, then he reappears running back with the shirt off and swinging it (the shirt).

Probably a bit early to be starting Anderson there consistently, but it's certainly a long time since we've had a threat like that coming in from the left.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I am starting to think Longstaff may end up being very important to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton is our top scoring midfielder behind Almiron I said for a while now not permanently - last few games he played he was taking very lame shots straight into the keepers arms. I just think give players on form a chance and even though it was only 45 minutes, Anderson impressed me in front of goal yesterday. Also joelington is our joint top midfielder scorer with Bruno on 2 goals in 21 appearances. If Anderson’s had stood yesterday that would have been 1 in 13 which would have given him a very good chance to match that 2 in 21 if he was given match minutes.

Anderson did great when he came on, but it was 45 mins, we know what Joelinton has brought to the team over two thirds of the season. It's the same as the Willock situation, it's not just about the goals, it's about what a player brings to the team dynamic, Joelinton is absolutely one of our best midfielders who covers the whole left side and central areas box to box. Doesn't just cover ground either, he's great at bringing the ball out under pressure and releasing players. Not to mention he's also a beast in closing the oppositon down. This was a game against one of the bottom sides in the division as well, just need to keep some perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with 99% of what you’re staying but I said it after wolves game and still saying it - all our game is missing in my opinion is others chipping in helping with goals, outside of the three (Wilson, miggy and isak) - the “best scoring midfielders” as someone stated has a ratio of one every ten games. I just really hope we don’t go back to form of loads of play down the left with no end result and predictable down the right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many were debating letting him go on loan in the summer. He can still play a massive part off the bench fwiw, just think we shouldn't ramp up our expectations too much just yet.

That’s fair enough - fwiw, I was never one that said send him out on loan. I personally felt howes training methods must be way better than most so I liked the idea of him being part of that for the season. You’re right though - it is early days.
