Whitley mag Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Targett for Burn should be the change, need to get some play going down the left side. Edited March 12, 2023 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy's done more in his appearances off the bench than Almirón has done in his starts recently. I'm interested to see what he does if he starts, I like Murphy, but I'm concerned he'll revert to type if he starts. Suspect 10-20 minute bursts might suit him.

STM Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 My guess based on nowt: Pope Trippier Schar Botman Targett Bruno Longstaff Murphy Gordon Maxi Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 2 other points: I don't think Howe sees Gordon on the right. I don't think Willock is ready to start after his injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Left-field suggestion (literally), switch Trippier & Almiron over to the left, get Manquillo and Maxi on the right, Gordon behind Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoSelecta Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Hadn’t even considered Lascelles, definitely a selection headache for Eddie. Lascelles’ attitude and training has been praised all season then he comes in and doesn’t put a foot wrong - squad management says he keeps his place?

HaydnNUFC Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Lascelles is a competent box defender, useful when sitting deep as seen in his 2 league appearances at Anfield and the Etihad. When the onus is on us to attack teams I'd much rather we have Schär bringing the ball out as opposed to Lascelles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect 10-20 minute bursts might suit him. You could be right but it would be a shame to Pidgeon hole him into that without giving him a chance to prove otherwise. I’d like us to balance the amount of support / chances players get as some get way too much and some don’t get enough. for me - start isak, target and Murphy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 with the BBC making an arse of itself, does this mean we won't get to hear Ando on the commentary shouting at Murphy when he fails miserably at trying to chip a shot in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Targett behind Maxi for me today. We can’t risk Traore roasting Burn as it seems to be a mental think for him. I don’t think Almiron deserves to start but there isn’t really an alternative. Just please start Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Howe has got difficult decisions to make. Schar should come straight back in but does he play both Wilson and Isak (slightly off Wilson), does he rest Almiron, does he play Bruno slightly deeper(as neither Longstaff or Willock are as strong on the ball as Jo or Bruno). Personally, I’d give Isak and Wilson a go and if we go that way, Howe has to balance how he sets up. I’d rest Almiron for Gordon and if Willock is fit, is he the safer option to ASM? Going to be a difficult game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
