astraguy Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Christ miggy and Murphy need a performance of a life time to supply us with any attacking threat today,A point would be insane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Just now, SUPERTOON said: Unavoidable, 2 are ill and one is injured Yeah but it's still a kick in the nackers. I suppose this game is one we probably wouldn't have got a win from anyway, even a point would have been a good result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeT44 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Shows our lack of depth and the requirement to invest again, which I'm sure we will. The aim now for me has to be getting rid of the likes of Clark, Lascelles, Longstaff, Fernandez, Murphy, Almiron etc and replacing them with quality XI, so that players like Schar/Burn can be our 3rd choice CB. The same as Shelvey in CM. Edited March 13, 2022 by BlazeT44 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenlau88210 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 keep it tight and we might somehow nick a goal and win 1-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillingtonMag Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Aye I'm going to have to revise my prediction down to 2-1 Newcastle from 3-1 after seeing the line up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 If Shelvey and Willock are out with illness, not sure what else he could have done then play a back 3, and if thats the case, Fraser has needed a rest for a while so might as well get it out the way in this game.

Stottie Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 After seeing that lineup, I rescind all comments about 9-1 odds being generous and us not conceding three. Iin Eddie we trust, but many fringe players in there and not a lot of threat. It looks like this match is being written off to have a full go at Everton.

wormy Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 As if we needed a reminder of how much of a rebuilding job is still needed on this squad. Let's just get out of today with our goal difference unscathed, please. That'll do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 If Howe wins this I'd be massively impressed. It's definitely many times harder without Shelvey, Willock, Joelinton, Schar and ASM... although we may seem ASM come off the bench for last 20 I suppose. We'd need to see Almiron, Longstaff and Lascelles put in their best shifts to even come close to the form of the people they are stepping in for.

nortoon Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Very interesting line-up. Midfield three not even on the bench. I enjoy watching Joelinton more against the big teams when he can physically man-handle some superstars but oh well. Dont really mind if we rest half the team against these. If we are still in it late on i suppose we can bring on Maxi and try get something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton is the match that we should be aiming to win. I would have hated if any of those missing today played and then got injured for Everton or even longer.

toon25 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 3 or 4 zip to Chelsea. We've got very little by means of trying to get any foothold in the game whatsoever. Bruno is going to have to do it on his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejaxer Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm just glad we have a 10 point gap and we don't need to panic. Not the best team but we don't need to win here, just hoping to see the players fighting for their place in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
