Thiago Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I think Howe has been blessed by the fact we've won games so the necessity to throw him in isn't there. I think introducing him slowly is a solid approach for now. Jurgen Klopp has done similar in the past wit the likes of Andy Robertson and it does tend to benefit them in the long run. If he was an attacker I'd say throw him in, but given the responsibility and importance a CM carries with team structure I think it's smart to let him bed in and learn the system.

For the sake of it would be swapping two players of similar skill or class. We play West Ham next who are a lot better than Everton and Villa we need all the quality we have on the pitch. If we go by your argument about price, we should drop Shelvey (£12m was it?) rather than Willock at £25m, surely? And Big Joe at £40m would never get dropped! No…because we have to pick the best for the team, and at the moment, Howe believes the current three are a better choice than throwing Bruno in.

The argument wasn't really about the price I said because he was a better player you've just jumped on the price thing and made a bigger point of it than I meant. I think he's head and shoulders above Joe Wilock and think you should pick your best players to win the next game and upsetting some one is unfortunate but the team comes first.

Amir_9 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Have no opinion of him whatsoever just yet because we've literally only see him play a barely combined total of 12 mins... Let him play a half of football first never mind a game.. Edited February 13, 2022 by Amir_9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that logic, Chris Wood is one of the best strikers we have had in years since he was on pitch when we had one of our best runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNK Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) I'm gonna drop the bomb, he never was the paciest player and probably never will be, I told you guys that the EPL transition will take some time, since the tempo of the league is high every single game and he never played at that level outside the UCL. Let him adapt, Howe is doing the right thing, he probably would have come in a lot sooner today if those injuries hadn't happened. Like some people here said, he will play, give EH time, he seems to know what he's doing and most importantly, looks like he has the locker room in his hands, that's one of the best traits a manager can have, if he loses that you guys will go back to a poor run even with all the signings Edited February 13, 2022 by JNK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
