Raconteur Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Watching those training videos, I think people should prepare themselves for Shelvey and Ritchie to start against Brentford. Hopefully it won’t take Eddie long to realise Shelvey offers one Hollywood pass a match and that’s it… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Happy to give them a clean slate. Eddie will see what they are and aren't capable of. It will be make or break for Jonjo. His passing could be key in our rejuvenation if he decides to put in the graft. Otherwise, the championship beckons. Richie has earned the right to be a key voice. Whether he still has the legs to start under Howe is another question. Miggy is the one I'm looking out for. A real shame he's away on international duty.

I think you’re right, and while it’s a shame Almiron and Schar won’t get to impress from the off, it’s worth staring the likes of Joelinton or Fernandez who get to work with Howe for ten days. Dubravka might be a different case as the keeper, god knows Darlow needs replacing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Lewis, Almiron and Schar are 3 players that should be starting every game. As crazy as it sounds, that might explain why they are often absent. The international break is an opportunity [passed up by Steve Bacon] to work on some thing new, and the something new isn't there.

I don’t know about that - Schar has never looked as good in a back four as in a back three, while we were all calling for Lewis to be withdrawn (and he’s been kept out by Ritchie for nigh on a year now). Almiron is a better player than some give credit for, and I’m sure he’ll flourish under Howe, but missing a match or two (after long haul flights) while he gets on board with Howe’s program isn’t a big deal.

Oh aye. I don't think it will be a problem under Howe, in the long term. But I would be surprised if any start the next game. I'm just saying that with Bruce's 2 days a week training there was never an opportunity to make up the lost time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Cheers @HaydnNUFC Got that commentator from the early noughties was bloody horrific wasn't he. Can't get over the amount of space folk gave to Shelvey and Gayle when we were in the Championship. Begging to concede to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think all of his commentary on season reviews were recorded well after the fact but still, utterly terrible. That Brentford game in the Championship, even though we conceded, was one of the most comfortable home wins I can remember. So easy. Brentford at the time managed by a certain Dean Smith.

Not Thames! He's a legend. I'm on about that weird bloke who's on the comms during that Brentford League Cup clip. Definitely responsible for diluting some great moments with shite commentary.

South-Cheshire-Toon Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 The more I hear about Howe, the more excited I get, the more I feel that we are going to be let down big time. But in checking their results - they are on a 4 premiership game losing streak - which means they probably are lacking confidence. Then in typing this, it makes me feel like it going to be a first win for us. So I'm going with 3-1, after going 1 down soon into the game. But what will be will be. Damn, it's along time til next Saturday afternoon - roughly - 8 Days, 22 hours, 45 odd minutes. That's 214 hours or 12888 minutes, or 773,233 seconds - at the time of typing.

Ben Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 It will be interesting to see which players have impressed with a clean slate, also it's a good thing just now for Howe, but the amount of players we have on international duty is a joke considering we are an established Premier league club.
