I think we are better off with him further forward. Two games in 3 days probably gives us license to rotate a few anyway I do agree with that and it is why I commented in the Shelvey thread the other day. Saying I'm actually looking forward to Jonjo coming back. Which isn't something I thought I'd say. I guess it's just whether for this game, Joelinton's relentless work and drive is seen as more important than Bruno being able to play a bit more advanced. Not meaning to sound negative, but I think I'd go with the former for a game at Old Trafford. They are not what they once were. But they're still a good team in pretty decent form, results wise. Big Joe is massive for us for winning the ball back and also screening the left side of defence/covering the whole left hand side of the pitch. I think both he and ASM will start. I feel like they come as a package deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Willock has worked his bollocks off over the last Two matches too and maybe it wouldn’t hurt to give him the final 20-30 of this match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I think this'll be a tight game. The way they're achieving their current form reminds me a bit of us in the second half of last season - it's not always pretty but pragmatic & effective. Could be a bit of a trap for us to come in and really step up high when they have such threats in behind. One of the best things about Howe though is that he can be tactically flexible and we should hopefully have an even stronger bench than the weekend if Isak and Shelvey can make returns. 2-2.

PlymouthGeordie Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) This game is the first of 3 games in 7 days for us. Wilson and ASM won't be able to start all 3 so it would make sense to start them in the first and third game. We can't be risking them starting 2 games in 4 days given their recent injury records. If ASM plays, then Joelinton has to play as he covers him so well. Against Man Utd, we have to go with our full strength line up which at present (based on injuries) is: Pope Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn/Targett Willock, Bruno, Joelinton Miggy, Wilson, ASM For Everton, hopefully Isak can replace Wilson but if not Wood should start. Murphy can come in for ASM and Longstaff can come back in. I wouldn't be surprised to see Lascelles or Anderson get a start in the next 3 games either.

Ikon Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Think i'd go for a midfielld three of Bruno, Joelinton and Matteo. This game might be a bit too early for Matteo though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Big Jow and Targett to come in for this. Think Burn would struggle against Antony and Target is solid defensively. This is the type of game where we'll have to dig in, forfeit possession and try and break against them when we win the ball back. Midfield 3 of Willock, Bruno and Joelinton would give us our best chance imo. Drop Longstaff, don't think he's suited to us not having the ball.

Whitley mag Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I’m bemused why anyone is waiting for the return of Shelvey to this team. We’re currently a mobile pressing team who are outrunning the opposition, why the fuck does anyone want that plodder back pinging balls out of play for 90mins ? Arguably our best performance in years was at home to Arsenal with Bruno, Joelinton and Longstaff playing, folk have short memories. If all the return of Shelvey is about is playing Bruno further up the pitch, then i hope Eddie’s got more sense than some on here as Bruno is doing just great in the current line up.

I'm far from his biggest fan and even when he was better and fitter under Howe, I still wasn't convinced. I think he is better than Longstaff and more suited to that deeper role than he is. Longstaff is still pretty crap on the ball and don't think he offers much. Just fairly decent at pressing at times, whilst not exactly being quick or mobile. I 100% get why people want him back. As an option for certain games, at the very least. Ideally, we will get someone to play the DM role. That said, I'm not sure if if that is what Howe will go with long term. Or if he will have a more fluid 3 and there will still be place for Joelinton in his hybrid role on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
