MartinBaker1975 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I like the idea of Isak starting in either the usual 4-3-3 or a flexible 4-4-2. His work in the channels should draw some of the markers away from Wilson and I could see the latter benefitting from that. I love ASM when he is on form but I just don’t think we can afford to carry his work rate and wastefulness any more. You could see him trying to up his work rate after half time on Saturday but Gordon brought so much more when he came on. I could forgive Howe allowing Gordon more time to get his fitness and cohesion with his teammates right. Hence why I’d prefer Isak as a more attacking outlet and goal scorer on Saturday evening.

greydos Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I’m in the Bournemouth box for this one. Apparently we get an interview with a player after the game. Hopefully I’m asking them how it felt to chase shadows on the way to getting tonked 4-0! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Need to win this really, wouldn't like to go into Liverpool then Manure matches without a win in awhile. 3pts here and go into the scousers match with confidence, and hopefully carry that through to Wembley. I'd start Isak and Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it’s a beaut and one of our better ones of recent times. I have the exact same issue. Love the actual strip (helps that there is a large Celtic supporting contingent in my family so always partial to some green and white), however almost scared to pick it and wear. So far as the match goes, as much as it pains me to say it, the way things went against West Ham really does suggest starting Gordon over ASM. Isak also needs to start. I don't think we're at the point where we should completely change the formation, so bring him in for Wilson, rather than alongside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I do wonder if Howe will be tempted to change towards more of a 4-4-2 given our lack of options in CM and the fact that Isak and Wilson starting together seems like something that would really benefit us. Gordon and Almiron on the wings, Joelinton and Longstaff in CM. Think that could be super solid defensively with Longstaff and Joelinton while that front four could do some damage.

MartinBaker1975 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Interesting you don’t rate Willock. I don’t dislike him but I struggle with why he always looks knackered. Shows how fit Longstaff is as he covers a lot more ground per game longstaff 12.1km/game willock 10.8km/game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a look before and it was still showing ADD and allowed me to put one in basket but couldn’t go further as had no one to assign it to with 155 points ?♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
