Hanshithispantz Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 In all seriousness unless he's knackered and cannot last the full 90 that is poor going like. We've looked absolutely appalling in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Shocking decision on the lineup. Mainly because I just want to see the players like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 If Burn isn’t fit, fair enough. I guess we are short of CB’s for now with Dummett and Fede injured and Clark not registered. So we need him on the bench. But not starting Bruno and Fraser and Shelvey seemingly undroppable. Man, that’s a depressing start to the evening before a ball has been kicked.

He thinks too much change too fast is risky, but the real risk is in not changing a shite team as fast as possible. Every game is precious now, we can't afford to keep playing the same old shit that got us here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 No one will care if we get 3 points, he’ll get torn apart if we lose. Bruno just doesn’t strike me as someone who will struggle to adjust to this league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Perhaps Howe has been prepping for a game all week and Bruno has missed a large amount of that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Expected starting line up for me. It’d have been a risk starting Bruno after only a couple of training sessions and not knowing how bad some of his team mates can be. It’s a crucial position he plays. He’ll come off the bench after he’s seen what’s what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vile behaviour quoting myself but I guess it could be looked as ballless, too. Let's hope the trust he has in this team isn't misplaced.

Alberto2005 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It's disappointing, but no point moaning about it now he's made his decision. Let's just hope at the very worst we're level when he comes on and we win. He'll start every other game from here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 1 minute ago, Yorkie said: Trust the manager. Amazing how many of our fans know so much better than Eddie Howe. I mean, I get it, nobody is above criticism but fuck me it's way OTT. He's doing what 90% of managers would have done, and the same thing that the manager in the opposition dug out has done. It's a disappointing because we all wanted him to play but that's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Bruno as the impact sub on for Shelvey in the 2nd? An odd choice on the surface, but there's no way we know enough to fathom why he's on the bench. Early days!

Absolutely stupid move not to give our best player every minute on the pitch while he's fit and available. And if he needs 15,20,25 minutes to get going (I don’t think he does) he’ll struggle to make an impact coming on in the 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 This absolute refusal to give the benefit of the doubt is tedious af, like. Can we at least wait until full time before decisions get absolutely pilloried? It's not Steve Bruce in the dugout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've looked absolutely appalling in midfield. Yeah I don't get it. It's not like he's a wing back and needs to as acutely understand the ebb and flow of attack and defence, I expect he'll sit and hold in front of the defence right? Feel like that doesn't require quite him to be quite as sympatico with the team ethos/way of doing things. Especially as the way of doing things is relatively shite. He's a motor in central midfield, I think that outweighs any tactical advantage given up. Unless he's not fit. Maybe I'm being daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
