I've got a sneaky feeling Bruno will start against West Ham, but will support Howe's decision regardless. think he's a much better man manager than he gets credit for.

You ideally don't want to change a winning team too much, especially when Joe, Shelvey and Willock have been some of our best performers over that run. We get beat I imagine it will be a good chance to change/freshen things up a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The thing I worry about with Bruno is that he’s come here with this momentum and self belief from his time in France and he could have carried that straight into the team. Look at his 6 minute debut for example. I just think the longer he doesn’t start we risk losing some of the fire in his belly and belief that he has got in himself and it could affect his performances. He must be canny frustrated at not getting much time. This could all be bollocks of course because I don’t know what he’s thinking, but it’s just a worry I have. Plus I really want to see him play!

Even if he does it's not like he's playing under the cabbage man, we've got Howe who has made Shelvey and Joelinton into actual good footballers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I trust Eddie to make the right decision but it seems to me that this match would've been the perfect time to give him a start. It's one that we wouldn't expect to win on paper and he could explain benching Willock to him by saying he wants a more defensive player in there for this difficult away game, plus it would be a good idea to have a more defensive player in there for this difficult away game. I am concerned that not starting him and not giving him enough time from the bench to earn his place (albeit due to the enforced subs and concern about Dubravka against Villa) is potentially creating an unnecessary issue and putting more pressure on him to instantly perform when he does get his chance.

I think now would be the right time to find a place for him in the starting line up. If he doesn't, something will happen eventually to allow his inclusion, be it injury or a ban for someone and I think everyone knows that once Bruno gets into that starting line up, he's never getting dropped.

MrRaspberryJam Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 He'll get plenty game time, Howe's just waiting for Willock's performances to drop off so he can squeeze him in. Joelinton & Shelvey won't get dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
