Stottie Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I think this is a free hit and we should change the team. Miggy has to play, because it's borderline whether we should keep him. Krafth is going that way too due to huge improvement under Howe. I'd rest ASM and play Murphy. Give Wilson some minutes if he's ready. Play Longstaff instead of Joelinton or Shelvey who both look knackered. While I'm saying "changes", I don't want to see anyone already destined to leave the club in the summer. Being safe means focusing now on next season, not hitting the beach or dabbling in sentimental send-offs for players who've been here too long already. The main one is to have a proper go with full strength at Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal, and see where we really are. I think we are already Top 8 , but our form from Jan 1 suggests we could be snapping at the Top 4/5. A team challenging for Top 4/5 needs to target much better players in the summer than one simply seeking to consolidate the Top 6-8 form we have already been achieving. Btw, this is from before last night's game, but shows where the points we have have come from. Our most recent games against the Top 6 are should have beaten Man U, matched Chelsea and denied a stonewaller, and the off-day against Spurs, so 1 point from 9 games isn't quite the full picture.

Billy Warthog Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I think if we're going to get anything at Norwich, we'll have to rotate our squad a bit. A win is certainly there for the taking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Norwich are dogshit, but that annoying gimp Pukki will definitely score, so we'll need at least 2 goals. Probably rest a few for this, see if the likes of Longstaff can impose himself on the game. Have to be thinking of the summer now, and who really deserves to be here.

SUPERTOON Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I think we will see longstaff, Lascelles, Msnquillo, Murphy and Willock come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Play the strongest line up possible and go to put these fuckers back where they belong in the Champo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there might be a scenario where bringing fresh legs in is our "strongest" line up. Really feel like Gayle would add something for this game.

Awaymag Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 2-0 loss with 8 toon players sent off. Tindall chins Norwich manager and toon deducted 15 points. Just an average Saturday prediction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Bare minimum, I'd bring Longstaff and Willock in for Joe and Shelvey. The pair of them were running on fumes after an hour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Yeah I'd definitely bring Longstaff in, probably for Joe. Lad's got it all to play for now so hopefully he can perform. Murphy and Manquillo too, I would say; give Maxi and Targett rests. Dubravka Krafth Schar Burn Manquillo Longstaff Shelvey Willock Almiron Murphy Wood Not Gayle. Would still ideally like to win the game if possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I want to keep Bruno in for the greedy reason of just wanting to watch him again. I know he probably needs some R&R but he will be the best player on the pitch by a few lightyears again. Especially against this lot. Want us to well and truly beat someone and given the 3 games after this I don't see why we can't try and do that against these. 0-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, we are unlikely to get much from the following 3 games. Eddie will know their energy levels. If theya re ok, I would change Maxi for Willock and thats about it.

Paullow Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Hopefully we get at least a point here, because while I'm sure we could pick up a point from the next 3 very tough games, we will be clear underdogs in them all, especially the title challengers, so it would be a bit of a downer to head into the Burnley match potentially on the back of 4 straight defeats. I'll go for 1-1. Edited April 21, 2022 by Paullow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Can definitely go for a bit of tinkering with this for starters. Three games in less than a week, was a feeling it caught up with us a bit at Everton. Can't figure out where they'll be regarding this, pressure on or pressure off, think we could really boss it if they feel they need a win with organisation, countering and sh1thousing.

Coffee_Johnny Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Doubt he’ll make any changes unless anyone is really struggling. He’ll be totally focussed on highest possible points tally. Genuinely hope we thump them, it is due and the positive atmosphere at the mo must be addictive for the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
