That's it, just chuck a 3-4-3 formation into the mix to confuse us further.

 

[TRon]

Tell you what's the real take away, we are arguing about which player to drop to make way for Bruno, when we'd have happily dropped any one of them a couple of months ago regardless of Guimarães (yes I copied and pasted) being here.

 

Trippier, and even Targett's debut was quite eye opening in the difference a bit of quality can make to what we are used to watching. You hardly dare to dream what we might look like in a year's time.

Willock was anonymous first half and has had a handful of good games, so I'm not going to be too sad if he gets dropped, that still leaves 3 players more advanced than him.

I cannot believe having watched this guy's highlights of him driving forward with the ball and threading through exquisite passes to forward players, people want him to come in and sit back in front of the defence.

 

Not having that at all. Joe's energy and work rate in midfield is absolutely vital at the minute and so he's not going anywhere. And so we have Willock and Shelvey. Willock cannot play in that deeper holding role, and so he has to sit on the bench for now. 

Seen Howe's post match interview and he spoke about the importance of winning the ball in the oppositions half, think thats what Bruno will be doing and will be our most offensive midfielder.

Are we sure this isn't a clever ruse from Adam P? 

[Tsunami]

I’d play him in front of the centre backs, have Big Jo play as a disrupter across the whole of the midfield and probably play Shelvey. There’s also an argument to play Willock as the only midfielder we have capable of breaking the lines. It’s such a shame that Wilson is injured.

 

I’d also be looking during training whether we can use Almiron effectively with Bruno picking out runs.

“He is certainly someone we're keen to see play," adds Howe. "He's an outstanding talent, we've seen that in training already and in his very brief cameo the other night. But it will have to be at the right time to introduce him to the starting XI.”

 

From Howe’s interview with Sky Sports 

[gbandit]

Sounds like he’s not starting, want to see him on the pitch a lot earlier than 90 mins, especially as the midfield are going to get a bit of a wake up on Sunday after playing some poor teams

I don’t get this. What is the right time for introducing him to the starting team? Wood, Trippier, and Targett did not have to wait for a right time, why Bruno, especially him being  the most talented out of the new signings. 

[toontownman]

Howe is just keeping harmony in the squad, mentally we are on the up (with what we saw can be a mentally weak team under Bruce) and he is just making the players that have done a good job in midfield feel valued, while both protecting and motivating Bruno a bit. He will see minutes on Sunday either from the start or off the bench. All three in the middle worked their arse off on Tuesday.

Those 3 all know the league.  Bruno doesn't.

Empathy and care for animals is one of the most important traits in a human imo. Great stuff 

[Guest reefatoon]

If we go on a winning streak to the end of the season, he won’t even get a game. He’ll then hand in a transfer request and be sold in the summer. Man what a 3 minutes though. 

[Holloway]

he`s got football written all over him this fucker. Iron curtain him and his big pal

Straight out of the Pardew-book.

Trippier came straight in when bought.

 

Manquillo had a cracker against Leeds. Next game he's out to make way for the new boy. I don't think delicate feelings will play a part. 

 

Unless Manquillo was injured? 

Trippier was very much a known with loads of experience of the Premier.

 

Got to admit I'm torn........but I'd probs go the Keegan/Asprilla route.
