huss9 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 isak signing will give the team a bit of a boost, and the away end will be bouncing, especially if he is on the bench. win for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Doubt we'll see Isak on the bench even. Think we'll see: Pope Trippier-Schar-Burn-Targett Willock-Bruno-Joelinton Almiron-Wood-ASM Hope to see: Pope Trippier-Schar-Botman-Targett Anderson-Bruno-Joelinton Almiron-Isak-ASM We are certainly able to win, and I'm optimistic of at least a point no matter how Howe set up the team, but mentally preparing for the doomers to get out of the woodwork to cry about whatever if we were to slip up with a narrow defeat against a well drilled and talented Wolves team.

xLiaaamx Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Why would we not have Isak in the squad? He's fully fit and played last weekend. We don't have to build him up from scratch. If he's eligible he's got to feature in the 20 with Wilson out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Howe will entertain the idea of involving him without having barely met any of the players let alone stepped foot on the training field or had any sort of tactical briefings.

Not quite sure what Dan Burn has done wrong for so many to want him out the team like..apart from not being the big name signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves us with 3CBs that are comfortable on the ball, when Trippier bombs forward. Who needs to defend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very tough and it’ll be very close, could go either way too. I reckon a 1-1 or narrow 2-1. I can see us picking up a point though which I’d happily take.

Don’t think Botman has done enough, nor Burn done too much wrong, for Howe to make the change. So if Targett starts then expect to see Schar and Burn as the CB pairing.

Targett playing against Tranmere was an indication that he might not start on Sunday, although he was brought off at half time. I think Burn and Schar are certainties, so it's either Targett or Botman. Personally, i think Targett gives us more natural width than Burn at left back. On Isak, best we can hope for is the bench. Wood will start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that Botman has played against the very best in Man City and then League 2 Tranmere, and I want to see how he performs against a more (on paper) evenly matched team.

Assuming he was actually concussed, it seems like a 6-day minimum break as per the current concussion guidelines. He could technically make it, but it seems very unlikely.

alexf Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Wolves were solid defensively and in possession against spurs. Particularly down their right side where Neto tracked back really well to help Jonny. I think ASM will have a much harder and quieter game because of that and I hope fans don't get on his back because of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have no problem sticking with Burn at LB, for this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
