Whitley mag Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) All out for Moussa Diaby and I think we’d break the top 6, we’re maybe 1 or 2 players away if we avoid serious injuries. Edited August 31, 2022 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firmly in the camp now, probably the worst substitute ive ever seen for us. Not today, just every time he come on as a sub hes miles off the pace, ball watches and barely even runs.

buzza Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We need some competition on both wings and centre midfield. need to push to get one or two loans/signings to make a difference, even if only to improve the bench! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Was joking about Perez earlier but after seeing Murphy and Wood tonight I think he'd have done a better job in either position over those two. BHH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We have had 2 brilliant windows so far, and we really are going places, but surely we can’t go the rest of the season with those set of wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Will be interesting to see what we do tomorrow, we've gone close with City and Liverpool now, and I seriously think if we had ASM Wilson Bruno, Isak all available together, we'd have had them tonight. Our injuries and fitness will be what the difference is, if we invest in a solid bench,we could make a challenge even at this stage.

Nine Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) I’m not sure anything happens for us tomorrow, perhaps one loan with an option but I can’t say I expect us to spend another 30/40m Edited August 31, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a big ask, both financially and from a sheer workload perspective, to get both a starting 11 and bench significantly upgraded. We’ve done half of that in 2 windows. We are still a way off, squad wise, from competing for top 6 in my opinion, but that’s also OK. It’s going to take time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always knew it would take time but just feels so tantalisingly close already (when in reality we are nowhere near) This is the problem - in a perfect world where everything aligned we could finish in the top 6. But the gap is still so wide. We bring on Wood and Murphy at Anfield while Chelsea are spending 100m euros on a guy they don’t even need for at least a year. I think there will likely be some frustration tomorrow, but if you take the emotion out of it then sticking to the plan of taking steps each window is the reality of how this likely needs to be done.

Shadow Puppets Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 At the end of the day, with a fully fit squad, Murphy and Wood are unlikely to feature much at all. I think people of overstating how bad our squad depth is purely because we happen to have our 3 best players out at once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately though, 2 of them are pretty injury prone and obviously the ASM one is in our weakest position depth wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality probably lies somewhere in the middle tbf, my biggest concern is probably fatigue and not injury given the way we now play. However we've seen it with Leeds and a thin squad how fatigue cant lead to injuries and things can implode. Rafa imo was the master of squad management but played a much more passive style of football and would write certain games off, tonight being one of them. I think Howe had it in his mind tonight but the spirit in the team meant they went for it In reality we only need to survive until 12th of November this year when we can reset, relax, recuperate and go again (on the field and in the transfer window) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansour Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Depends. Long term injuries do and should change your approach, shorter ones not so much. I am optimistic that we are going to add at least one player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
