Yorkie Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I'd be stunned if Ritchie replaced Lewis. Think it would send a really bad message cos the lad played well and we were better for having him there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcnick Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Howe needs shot with shit if he brings back Capt Disaster and unreliable Richie, especially after how better balanced the defence looked yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWTL Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thought both fullbacks looked good, much better playing players in there actual position weirdly. Not sure who will play though as seems to change every game and always some suprises Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 It’s a shame Ritchie is such a liability at fullback, I do like the drive and the effort he adds. But sadly it’s not enough and there’s no way he should play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Back 4 that finished last night. Joe out wide right. Almiron with Wilson as he will make it a midfield 5 when out of possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 If Ritchie comes back in it sends an awful message to Lewis and won't reflect well on Howe. Full backs should stay the same. Last night was the first game this season where a full back didn't cost us a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Dubravka Manquillo - Schar - Fernandez - Lewis Willock - Shelvey - Joelinton* Almiron Saint-Maximin Wilson * Joelinton up front obvs but he was class at defensive stuff last night Although I don't think Burnley will go down, I actually see them as more winnable than Brentford and Norwich. I think we're ok against that type of personnel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Schar looked like he was carrying an injury possibly, so I'd expect Lascelles may be in by default. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Nobody said: Dubravka Schär Lascelles Fernandes Fraser Shelvey Willock Lewis Joelinton Wilson ASM I personally don't want Lascelles back in. I just think Lewis has come back in after a long break and difficult run in the team prior to that. He put in a very accomplished performance and I wouldn't want to over complicate it by changing his position only two games in. I'd be going with the same back 4 that finished the match yesterday and sticking with it unless injury or suspensions arise. Part of the problem with our defence (aside from the low quality of Ritchie, Clark, Krafth etc) is it has never been settled, due to both personnel and formation changes. Willock, Jo, ASM could all do with a rest. I'd keep Jo because his physicality will be useful against Burnley but I'd be tempted to rest ASM for fear of injury (played every game so far this season and has been lazy/tired and off the boil lately). My team would be: Dubravka Manquillo Fede Schar Lewis Shelvey Hayden Jo Miggy (10) Fraser Wilson Although could see why ASM would keep his place given the must win nature of the game.

Pokerprince2004 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Howe now has seen all our defenders now play 90 minutes in an actual league match so will rightly get grief if Krafth or Ritchie waltz straight back in. Thankfully I think he is smart enough to see how good Fernandez was and with his post match comments on him being magnificent adds to that. Lascelles is a trickier decision but would stick with Schar. Would he even consider 3 centre backs? Interesting to see... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 8 hours ago, Lush Vlad said: Tend to agree about the midfield two. But at the same time. I don’t really get the clamour to replace Willock with Longstaff, Hayden or Hendrick. It would be great if the latter could show improvement under Howe, as some other players have. He certainly needs too. But the others don’t look up to much. In their cameos under Howe/Tindall so far, it’s easy to see why they’re not starting. Agree with this. Willock hasn't been that bad for me, I'm wondering if he's getting criticised more because he's not scoring goals? Part of that will be down to playing in a two man midfield with Shelvey which means more defensive duties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
