SUPERTOON Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Just now, STM said: Bid decisions. Miggy in? Wilson for ASM? Burn for Targett? Be surprised if ASM is considered ready for a start although the thought of Almiron and Murphy as wingers is depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Would really like to see Wilson back on the bench for this. Not because he deserves it at all, but having him and Isak as a plan B is huge when we're chasing something. When we started with it today it really seemed to hamstring us in terms of bringing this up a level from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I hope we move Isak back centrally. If Longstaff is fit, Joelinton moved further forward on the left. If he's not I'd bring in ASM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I'm surprised Eddie hasn't tried Gordon as a number 8. I actually think it could suit his skills more than playing out wide. Something like this: Pope Trippier Schar Botman Targett Bruno Gordon Willock Murphy Joelinton Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Crikey, what a massive game. Could be a lovely symmetry here with us taking the three points which set us up for CL at the same place where we started our climb out of relegation last season.

Andybiotics Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 This is the biggest game of the season for me. Win this and we'll be ridiculously close to Champions League next season. Going into the Brighton game at home the crowd will be electric knowing another win will essentially guarantee us 4th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could press well. You are absolutely right that it's an unknown but I feel we need to get Joelinton back out onto the left, get the Joelinton/Willock play working again.

STM Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I don't think I've ever been so conflicted about a line up, as to what I am about the Leeds game. Will Howe look at Wilson/Isak vs Arsenal as an experiment that didn't work and revert back to what we were doing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I’m pretty sure he mainly picked Isak and Wilson because they’re playing well and the other options weren’t ready to start. It’s not like Howe suddenly thinks it’s the answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I think he’ll go back to Wilson or Isak (hopefully Isak). Longstaff being back is massive for us, we can go to our settled midfield with excellent options off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Simple for me you play your best 11 which means if Longstaff is unfit Maxi plays. This will be brutal and Tyler Adams will try and kick us off the park. Could go either way and 1st goal will be crucial, we got it at the London Stadium and Goodison, don’t get it here and it will be a real struggle. Not for the feint hearted this one and Elland Road will be a bear pit, needs cool heads this one or we’ll get dragged down to their level which is what Allardyce will want.

Geordie Boyo Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Probably not likely to start maxi against these expectably being an easier challenge than arsenal too, but would like to see him come on again with potentially a front 3 of maxi, isak/Wilson, Murphy/Almiron. ….great actually having options….!

Wilson is an excellent option to watch from the bench, read the game and come on against tired legs. That, basically, should be his new role at the club. Especially post-summer when hopefully we’ll have bought players to help get the best out of Isak centrally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
