Aiston Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I do love the weeks of calling for Wilson to be replaced by Isak.....to giving Isak 1 game and instantly calling for him to be replaced Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Think this is a general consequence at the lack of rotation we've seen and something Howe will need to figure out next season, imo. Feels like players were figuring eachother out in the attacking lineup. We miss Bruno when we're the dominant possession side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is suggesting otherwise, but can you manage the unthinkable and cast your mind back just over 12 months ago and remember what used to happen to us when the team as a whole was poor? Getting a point away and not getting beat when you’re bang out of form is the sign of a good organised team. it’s as if the fact that our creative output drops massively when Bruno is out of the team is coming as a shock to some on here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 We are still 4th top with only 1 defeat still. Been a fucking tremendous season and no wonder the players look shattered. Shows how much we have come on as a team when we can still avoid losing games when we are not at our best. I’ll take a point away from home against anyone all day long.

KaKa Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 With Bruno out we just end up with too many people that don't use the ball well enough in the final third. Pushing Joelinton back to the number 6 spot actually limits our creativity going forward as he does often get involved in creating good passages of play with others that leads to chances being created. Having ASM, Almiron, Willock and Longstaff supporting the striker is just too infuriating. At least one of them is going to do something daft to mess things up almost every single time. Gordon improved things and has to start next game for one of those lot. Might also have to play Longstaff deep and push Joelinton into one of the more forward positions.

Look at the options we pick off the bench. Murphy who offers nothing, then Anderson who needs a year or so out to a Championship side before he can attempt to make the step up.

Injuries to Wilson, Maxi, Almiron, Willock and Joelinton’s card. Just fucking miserable. The second paragraph is worse than the result and performance, for me. We just don’t have Premier League quality back ups to replace any of them long term. Joelinton will be a huge miss for 2 games. Whoever they end up being against. Willock’s looked like a hammy. Which isn’t ideal for someone who relies on pace and you’d imagine will be a few weeks, at least. ASM is made of glass and gets injured too often. So expect him to be out for a while. Almiron? Fuck knows. Kept holding his wrist. Hopefully just a slight sprain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the downside to high intensity, high pressing. Works absolutely brilliantly when everyone is fit and fresh but long term after months of doing it, it takes it out of you. There's not many teams who can do it week in week out without going through a stage where they look shattered, or at worst just losing that tempo completely.

You think the players did better than expected based on Howe set up the team and managed the game? No, don't be deliberately dumb. I think lots of players under-performed. Some played well. Howe didn't do a good job today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Bournemouth didn't look great technically, but they are athletic and at times they were too quick for us. Gordon has to start next week. We need his pace and movement. Isak played better as the game went on, partly because he was able to roam around a bit, with more players getting into the penalty area. Dan Burn is really struggling, and he nearly gave the game away at the end. Still, there was a time not long ago when drawing away was a decent result.
