sixx Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 It would be humiliating to our current midfielders to bring in McTominay. None of our midfielders really deserve to be replaced at the moment but to do it with McTominay would be a degrading gesture towards them. I don't dislike McTominay but do it well or don't at all.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I just can't see any advantage in taking your best two defenders off at any point TBH. And Martinez is also one of their best build-up players. Anyway, doesn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varane and Martinez off. Lindelof on. Push another up front and Lindelof is more of an aerial threat than Martinez (he had a half chance from a corner right after coming on). I don't understand why such a big deal is being made of us going to a back three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Anthony's shot from the corner, and Weghorst into the side netting in the first half. Antony passed it Pope once as well IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred should have started though. He was maybe hoping McTominay would prove a point to earn a move. Also, don't talk about the bench. Serious money wasted on absolute dross.

That’s the same view I have. I don’t understand the dislike we seem to have for McTominay as I think he’s actually a solid Premier League player, but I don’t think he’s better than what we have. Longstaff is the obvious one that is replaced in the midfield 3, but only with a top quality addition of Bruno levels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Only just catching up on the thread now - was my mam's birthday, yesterday but still managed to watch the game at my sisters. At the risk of not want to repeat much of what has already been said - we were terrific and now great is it that we are now enjoying our days in the sun again, after 14 years of darkness!

Big River Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 McTominay would be absolutely fine to bring in as a squad player. we're thin in midfield and he fits the profile to a tee. we're going to need a squad if we're to compete on multiple levels next season. it's the absolute basics, this. can't believe it needs explaining Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google just told me Sabitzer is on way more than that, from £110k to £165k or even £211k a week. Even at the lower end, he would be at least amongst our highest earners. Our entire back 5 yesterday would have cost less than a Maguire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
