We are talking about Alan, aren't we? Looking forward to Willock being back. He was in superb form before doing his hamstring. Hopefully see him back soon. Players in the NFL get it. Unfortunatly, it can be unpredictable because the pain lingers when you bend the toe but it certainly makes sense why it is taking so long. I'm not sure there are many injuries left for our players to undertake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of what we’ve actually seen, the midfield still looked better with Longstaff Fair enough but looked really, really promising against Villa. Though still without really clicking/being on the same wavelength as Bruno; which takes game time and working on same side repeatedly in training. After that, non-verbals looked off and performance dipped. Personally I think it was because he knew what was coming. I watched some of his Milan and Italy snippets a few weeks ago, no doubting he’ll be one hell of an asset/upgrade when on form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hurts at times and my performance, ball striking, definitely affected. Pretty sure I could hit top bins from 25 yards 9 times out of 10 before that (… last bit may not be strictly true ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 13 hours ago, mighty__mag said: They perform better when Willock is in the team with them. Well Joelinton does especially, Gordon hasn't really had as much play time. Our best effective midfield is the Joe's and Bruno. We just flow better with those boys at maximum levels. I keep saying it, but it depends on the opposition and how Howe wants us to win the match, whether it's ball carrying, possession, pressing etc. Sometimes our best midfield will be Bruno, Willock, Joelinton, other times it'll be Bruno, Tonali plus Willock or Joelinton with them dovetailing. There are other variations too and ironically with everyone available we have a lot of flexibility in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosstef Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I thought this would be his breakout season and he would tear up the league. Such a shame that it's been spoiled by injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Still think he has a role to play. Him and Barnes coming back so close together could give us a real boost in the final third of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're likely getting Targett, Murphy & Wilson back too within the next two weeks, so we'll actually be able to muster a bench with some viable options to change things up in the near future.

TRon Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I think how our season pans out depends how quickly he is back playing from the start. With Joelinton out, he would be the perfect alternative on the left side of midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 was expecting to see a picture of him back in training when I saw this bumped will be like a new signing once he gets up and running his goal at Old Trafford is probably my favourite this season along with Barnes against Luton, the way he just pinged it into the bottom corner so far out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) rotten luck I think - he was introduced back into the team gradually 20" v Dortmund 18" v Wolves 90" v Man U 28" v Arsenal 80" v Dortmund 90" v Bournemouth the latter two we were down to the bare bones which probably didn't help Edited February 13 by Ginola14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Iirc, he got injured in training the last day of the international break. Didn't seem like it was directly connected to a game. If that's true, it's probably worse in terms of what it could mean for his long-term fitness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
