54 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Why is everyone certain it'll be Lascelles that will play? Its possible, but hasn't Schar player every game under Howe, with him says that "Schar is exactly what I look for in a defender". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Schar has a really good chance, seems like everyone else who is calamity-prone has been a target for replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 You can be club captain and not play. I think we've done that a fair bit, including with Lascelles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lascelles has missed one league game since Howe came in and that’s because he was suspended. schar has been on the bench for 1 league games under howe. Pretty similar really but Lascelles only missing out thru suspension Edited January 31, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Dan Dan DAAAN! is the new big man at the back. We don't need two of them, not when we can have a blerk with a twinkle toes sexy dribble who lamps it into the top corner once a season. The obvious captain and first name on the team sheet is Trippier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Generally, club captains are safe as houses unless there's an incident that causes them to be removed i.e being sold or something unique like Roy Keane when he left Man Utd. The problem with Lascelles is that nobody wants to buy him, he doesn't quite fit into the criteria of being available for loan as he does play. Now Eddie Howe has never publicly stated about Lascelles, "yes he's my man, i want him to be captain". He's stated that he didn't see any reason to change things when he first took over. But it's very tricky to take the armband off a player if he's staying in the squad. We all know Trippier is the man.

Lot of great work been done dont get me wrong but going the rest of the season with those forward options will be a mistake and a failure. Even when Wilson comes back it’ll take him time.

Yeah, not gonna Iie, I am concerned, but hopefully they've got something going on to bring someone in. Defence looks good enough for this season, but I don't want to be relying on ASM and Wilson being fit for half a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Perhaps Ekitite has been chosen with one eye on being a mercurial ASM-type outball/havoc-wrecker when ASM is not playing. That said, I'd like Lingard too. I've given up on Almiron and haven't seen enough from Fraser. I think Murphy is talented but it sounds like he doesn't listen to instructions.

Nine Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Zapata looks to be a no goer then, it was nice to dream for a day or two. Botman/Carlos also look like they really are dead and we arnt going to try again. Still a possibility with Lingard since we have 1 loan left after Targett. Could easily still be a big suprise by tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It does look like the team is strengthened as a whole and that might benefit a few of the existing players. 2 new full backs, centre half, midfielder and striker have arguably been improved. Wilson slots back in and players we have signed further back could improve possession and recovery. From what I have seen of Targett he works hard and is tidy in possession, he's a decent signing for where we are, along with Burn and Trippier it gives our defence different dimension. Joelinton, Bruno and Shelvey/Willock looks more balanced and may help the other three on attack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossing for Wood and Jow, with Willock arriving in the middle for a knock down and ASM arriving far post for any that Wood misses.
