Lack of game for 3 weeks will be a kicker for match sharpness aswell. Assume he can play in behind closed doors games for fitness maybe.

But maybe a positive in that he gets a break after the world cup restart. Long term that might help towards the end of the season.

Could paradoxically be good for us given that the first games are against relatively weak opposition.

 

Will force Howe to return Joelinton to midfield and play ASM (or Gordon) in the front three. If Gordon doesn’t start expedite his inclusion as a 60 minute sub for Miggy— more like for like than Murphy. Once Howe has broken up the starting 11 maybe he’ll be more willing to start Isak. Wilson’s hold up play would be useful later in the game.  The main thing for me is getting ASM and Isak sharp, and integrating Gordon as quickly as possible.

Seemed to lose composure after not being given the foul when he picked the ball up, but I don't think the red-card foul was linked to that. Was sort of like the Mitrovic one v Arsenal when he first arrived. Think it was a genuine attempt to win the ball, was just mistimed and dangerous as a result.

Fabinho's was far worse and still not a red after VAR, corrupt wankers. Ref was desperate for them to score again.


That’s total twoddle. They are not somehow really linked apart from in your head. Both should have been sent off, one wasn’t.

 

Thought the ref was fair enough tonight, shite in the last game.

 

It’s not the end of the world. I’ve thought Bruno has been a little off his usual top tier level for a few weeks, despite still picking up man of the match awards. Think the World Cup took a lot mentally from him in terms of fatigue. A few games off will be good for him.
