I agree I look at some of the line ups - above and think - wow that’s terrible Then realise we have no other options / players to fill the gaps I don’t like seeing Lascelles schar Lewis longstaff in the team also think that shelvey , Fraser should be replaced Dummett - also meh (good defender) but you could say that about a random league 1 defender (does a job) Joelinton - can’t complain now as he puts in a shift (probably works twice as hard as others) Trippier - Quality ASM - just because he is always a threat Wood - only option Williock - no idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'd rather have Murphy than Fraser. Fraser despite showing an improvement is still woeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else Murphy at least has a bit of energy and a decent shot on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) If we're playing an out and out winger then 100% Murphy over Fraser. Edited January 22, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'd be tempted to play Miggy wide over either of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I didn’t realise how poor the side was until trying to write that line up I don’t want to see any of Shelvey, Longstaff, Willock or Hayden play for us again. We need a new spine in just over a week. CB, CM and ST should be a bare minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Play Fraser, Murphy and Almiron. Will need plenty of players who can run today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Its probably not, but this feels like the first game where Howe has actually had a full week to prepare. I suppose he has been distracted by trying to find signings but it would be lovely to watch the first 15 minutes and recognise some sort of game plan specifically to beat Leeds. In this case you would imagine it has to be playing off Wood and optimising set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeepShow4life Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Fraser hasnt been great but at least he's capable of producing something unlike Miggy. Would give Murphy a chance though ahead of both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Looking at the table, this is a must win game. Absolute must. Don't win, and we're down. Not because the points gap is insurmountable because it's not worth new players, but because it'll massively affect who will come in during the last week of the window. We can have all the money in the world but without players through the door we're fucked and we've got to do something to indicate to those potential new players that we're not already down.

Chris_R Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I've not said it before. I've not thought it before. I really think though that no win today and we're down. Even a draw leaves us cut adrift to the point that it'll stop us recruiting many new players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prove me wrong! Think he looks crap and good in equal amounts TBH. Certainly one of our most positive attackers and best crossers. But can equally miss control the ball or lose his man and look really bad. Edited January 22, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think things may change once we get a few more in next week, just because we are crap at the no, doesn't mean we end up the same. We could probably buy the man city first team and win every game from now on , so let's see what develops, a few good purchases will resolve our issues.
