I was actually thinking maybe for the Wolves game just stick Joelinton up there for a game and play Bruno with Shelvey & Willock. Maybe freshens it up for Joelinton too. He’d be able to press probably just as well, can’t be any less of a goal threat and get Willock further alongside him to feed off him?

 

 

 

Shelvey isnt physical or mobile enough for the press playing further up in a midfield 3, hes either the DLP position or hes not playing.

It's been said before, but for Burnley he was very much a run off the shoulder man. Ashley Barnes was the battering ram who backed in and fought the ariel duel/went down like a sack of shit to win the free kick.

You can say this as much as you like but his goals compilation for Burnley doesn't support this. He doesn't have any strengths apart from attempting aerial duels. That is it.

I don't have time to watch the lot again, but the first five are two of him running off the shoulder, a penalty and two poachers goals.

yeah he's not great at all and I don't think there's much more Howe or anyone could squeeze out of him with a change of systems or personnel around him. the cost was unfortunate circumstances. even chris wood doesn't think chris wood should cost 25m.

 

but it's also not like he'll be starting many, if any, games next year and this eases my stress about him considerably, given my only hope for this season post-takeover was survival and with 8 to 10 games to go and 9 points clear I'm fairly comfortable.

You can see looking at those highlights that he seems a different player nowadays. I liked him back when he broke through

at Leeds. He was physically better, had better pace and movement. I think he’s just a bit past his best after playing in a super physical team for most of his career

Definetly. You'd imagine he'll be third choice next season and most likely moved on a year later.

[Happinesstan]

Think we'd have seen an entirely different player if Trippier had stayed fit.

[TRC]

As much as I don't rate him, he's played 11 games, but only 4 at home. Lets see how he gets on in the next 3

[Bintang]

Appropriate surname as the bloke is a plank.

Chris Wood can trap the ball further than I can kick it out my hands 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That touch just before HT when we won the free kick was horrific and unfortunately it's not an anomaly 

[Guest neesy111]

Much much better 2nd half.

[Dinho lad]

Don't care. He's just about doing enough for us at the moment. 

[Abacus]

That was a £25m penalty right there, at least.

[Ben]

Not the greatest talent but he can be happy with his shift today 

[Thiago]

Don't ever talk to me and my clumsy Kiwi son again. 

 

Get up there Woody. Not pretty but effective on a night when we needed it.

I'm convinced he will score the goal that keeps us up.

Might me unfashionable but though Wood player well today, linked up the wide players, hustled and jostled there defenders all game, and deserved his pen and won it well, and could have had a second too.

[wormy]

Balls of steel considering his goalscoring form so far, especially after already having one chalked off. Worth every penny for those three points alone. 

[Fantail Breeze]

Absolute donkey first half, better in the 2nd - took his penalty well.

[David Edgar]

wiegwho?

[duo]

His pass to ASM was a peach

This.

Did well throughout the game. Number of times he dropped deep to intercept and win the ball in the second half was commendable.
