Brazilian goat I'm not sure how clear it was on the telly, but he stood on the sidelines with Miggy and Manquillo just staring at the Everton half/the Gallowgate for ages before he came on. It looked like he was asking to be brought on a few times too. He was raring to go. It's gonna be fun watching him from the off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can't totally begrudge ASM to be fair, he was flying tonight and fancied himself a goal. Yeah that's fair, ASM was brilliant and Pickford JUST saved that with his heel.

James Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It was a great cameo and would have liked to have seen more. got to remember however that Everton had been obliterated by that point though they had gaps everywhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) If he had that goal at the end, would have been an astonishing evenong. Edited February 9, 2022 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see it personally, Howe said post match the reason he didn't start all the new signings was because he likes to reward players for good performances. I know Shelvey wasn't that great last night but in Howe's eyes I can't see him getting dropped after a win like that but I hope I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he did but there has to be occasions when you drop some one who's had a good game because a better players on the bench. If prime shola had a good game he doesn't start the next game ahead of Shearer does he. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's a real conundrum trying to figure out where to put him. We've all become accustomed to Joe's strengths following his revival, meanwhile Willock is improving and presses really well and - in theory - is one of our best chances of a goal in a team that doesn't score much. Of the three, Shelvey is the weakest performer but I feel like he's the only one in the squad who really plays that quarter-back role. If last night is anything to go by, you'd only be getting 75% out of Bruno by putting him there. Despite his contributions I am dying to see Shelvey upgraded upon, but I don't think Bruno is that upgrade. Really dunno, but it looks like the added competition is already making a difference to the existing centre-backs and centre-mids, and both Bruno and Burn are going to have to fight for their places.

LFEE Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Can’t see the team being changed Sunday unless there is an injury. Just earlier introduction if and when needed around the 60min mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's such a complete player. Might as well be playing as Deco did or more of a deeper role in a pivot. Or as a complete #8 (box to box). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey_C_73 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Am I the only one who thought he doesn't look quite ready? In possession he looked fantastic, but out of possession he looked like he wasn't sure where to be. I think until he's had a few training sessions with the rest of the team and understand s positionally where he fits in I reckon he'll just be introduced to games with cameos.

Yep I think you might be, he ratted around the middle, got challenges in, moved the ball quickly, looked like he thrived in that atmosphere.
