STM Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 4 minutes ago, GWN said: Can he change it just like that though? I think it will take time , we just need organising and some results , the rest in time will come but I get what you mean . Subtle differences we may see. There's nowt subtle about going from backs to the wall, counter attacking turgidness, to all out Eddieball. There can't be a half way house IMO, as they are polar opposites. It might not work, for sure but he will 100% commit to it. Let's hope the players can implement enough of that style to get a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelvey is a twat but again will EH use him ? Fascinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khalidao Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 This will be a tricky game, Brentford will be up for it. Nothing's more exciting for a small club like Brentford than beating the "richest" club the world in their sold-out stadium. I trust Howe, as he alluded to in his interviews, will try to take the pressure off the players by going full on attack from the get go to score an early goal. After that, it will be up to the players to manage their energy and concentration levels throughout the game while they have the score advantage. I predict a 2-1 win.

Rich Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Darlow Manquillo Lascelles Fernandez Ritchie Saint-Max Hayden Shelvey Fraser Joelinton Wilson SUBS: Dubravka, Krafth, Schar, Lewis, Murphy, Willock, Longstaff, Almiron, Gayle Think that’s the best/most balanced team we could play that excludes all of the internationals. Also get the feeling Howe will prefer to use the players he’s had available to him for the full two weeks, which is fair enough. Home win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh it might well be , like Benitez worked with some shite players however he made them better.A coach is there to improve them so whatever team he puts out I’m not going to “meltdown “ as you say because I trust the boss. Thats the difference between EH and Bruce . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelvey as the 1 in front of the defence as the player to pass out in the middle, Hayden and Willock in front of him, willock to support Wilson at every opportunity with other support from the alternate wide players when the ball is on the opposite wing. It'll change again for Arsenal when he's had a chance to work with those who've been away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Think we will win this, there will be a better starting 11 that makes sense and has a plan, the atmosphere will be absolutely electric and the players will want to try and put on a show. I think even after only 2 weeks of training we will look completely different, whether it all clicks and looks pretty straight away is another story but I don't expect to see the sitting deep, backs to the wall scared to move the ball around shite. Been a long, long time since I've been this invested and this excited for a match, it feels like a big part of my life is back and it feels so good!

Bruce was proud of the fact he didn't do tactics, which means this lad had been given zero instruction as to what is expected of him. He gets the ball and has to look to see what the situation is. If he gets the ball in full knowledge of 2 or 3 available options he might be a lot more instinctive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 So many expecting us to win, me included. Nervous as feck already. 1-0 to us early on with us being all over them for the first 20 minutes. In the 22nd they get a shitty VAR penalty awarded and us a man sent off. Good day, as you were!

mighty__mag Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Surprised reading the replies, a few thinking Eddie will wave a magic wand, seems a tad naive. These players are the most responsible for what happens out there, I think Eddie will have a style of play, a change in formation possibly, different approach, stadium/fans onside. The thing for me that's been the key missing ingredient, is their fitness. Years of piss poor facilities, poor training, days off, if they are fit enough and disciplined enough they can do this, but Brentford will be no push overs, they play good attacking football themselves. Eddie has a shit ton of work to do with our group, I think its going to take a while, I'm not judging him even if its a total masterclass and we thump Brentford, because I totally think these players need to really push themselves, it's the last chance for some of them, because with the funds we know we have, many of them will never get this chance again.

Away Toon Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 So Dubravka played 90 minutes, Lewis apparently played well against Italy, Shaar played both games for the Swiss and even Hendrick apparently looked good for Ireland, maybe there is hope for all of them.

Danh1 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 The players do need to take some responsibility of course but the fact that they have been part of Ashley and therefore Bruce’s version of NUFC has made them as shite as they are. No coaching, no proper training, no plan, no care…. I don’t expect us to come out and look a completely different side, but I think there’ll be some fight and I think there will be some signs of life. It could be enough to get us a win.
