If he really wants to put out his best eleven each week he has to be ruthless. longs hasn’t really done anything “wrong”, but Joe is a big step up… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we played him on the left down there last season or maybe Norwich? In for Murphy maybe if he doesn't want to disrupt the middle?

But he already looked a different player even then. And aye he was on the left against Norwich I think cos it was a bit of a botched line-up with something up with Wood, iirc. Was him and Murphy either side of Maxi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Injury aside I don't see him changing the starting 11. We've seen how often he keeps a winning side and rewards players with continued spots in the team when we win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoTime Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 He absolutely should play the best players available to him every game. It'd be harsh but I'd be dropping Willock, keeping Longstaff in the 6 with Bruno/Joe ahead. We need proper width and overlapping runs at home to add to our threat, so Targett should be in ahead of Burn. Maxi won't be ready so I'm OK with Murphy or Fraser on the left - they're both equally just not that great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how not being on the pitch for 70 mins doesn't turn a player to shit. I guess the reverse might be true for those who don't play week to week [Murphy].

Considering he really doesn't offer much apart from scoring (he's an out-and-out poacher/elite finisher), the fact he didn't score today says even more about the rest of the team. If we had Isak in there, we'd have been even more dangerous for what he brings to the team in the build-up. Love Wilson to bits, his goals have been vital for us, but I really want to see Isak start when fit. I think we'd be able to retain the ball even higher up the pitch and a lot more will 'stick' when played into him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I think Almiron's the first name on Howe's teamsheet at the minute. I think there'll be quite a bit of rotation between Isak, Maxi & Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
