Tino Livramento

[Lush Vlad]

Back to Tino.  I'm pretty pleased with that.  Like everyone else, I was fearing the worst.

Are there any teams in the prem that really make it work nowadays?

 

Palace and Brentford. At times last season, Forest too.

That's a phew for me. Had hope after seeing Eddie in yesterday's press conference.

1 in, 1 out with Hall then

Palace play the 3-4-2-1/3-4-3 that we try.  They look brilliant at it.  We however, do not  

 

I'm sure quite a few teams would switch to that last season with varying degrees of success.  I think I posted about it in the tactics thread.  As it seemed in vogue for a while and it was being used more often.  Man U play it.......   Forest were switching to it and it worked well a lot of the time.  I think Chelsea, too. 

 

Being able to make that formation work gives us much better depth with the current squad. A third CB can be a backup for various other positions. We certainly do have a long way to go from what we've seen so far.

It looked like a leg break. His leg was at a weird angle.

 

That leg was super injured. He was clapping off like he was in delirious pain.

 

Tino proper English lad. Just sat motionless with a thousand-mile stare and the odd shake of his head. Probably had a wee cry while he was being carried out poor lad. Bet he's ok. 4-6 weeks and he's back.

I was close. Big relief that. Delighted for him.

Would rather trippier LB and Krafth RB or Murphy RB

Thiaw can play RB 

Let's try him there, Schar, Botman, Hall

[andycap]

That's not too bad. 

[The College Dropout]

Ok relieved for his career. 2 ACLs in the same leg within 5 years of proper professional football - I would have concerns for his entire career and longevity in the game. And his ability to recover and return to the top echelon.  
 

This doesn’t sound half as bad. 
 

We do need another fullback however. I don’t think Tino’s knees can survive being flogged like he was set to be. I love Krafth but he’s not at the level. He’s like Lascelles, he needs to be 5th choice FB not 4th.  

[Dokko]

I'll take that. Though still worried it'll come to 8 weeks and we'll find out he should have had an op and be out for the year. We have form.

Back for the Makems

We made one mistake which we don't even know was a mistake, FFS. 

[TRon]

Could have been a lot worse. At least we have decent cover in Tripps and Krafth so should manage a couple of months if that's how long he's out for. 

[Weezertron]

It's a slight positive, but this'll give Hall his chance to get LB cemented, and when Tino returns he can actually be our RB. 

[TBG]

Eh, knee injury but out for 6 -8 weeks?

[Mattoon]

Much better prognosis than feared, looks like the rumours were right and I'm grateful for small mercies but need him back asap

[Displayname]

Fantatic news, not only that he isn't going to miss the whole season as feared, but also because it won't set back his career which an ACL could do.

[Kid Icarus]

I'll take it. 

[Unbelievable]

Oh for crying out loud

Cracking doctors.  Though, lets hope its not the same ones that did similar with Botman and hes just about looking properly fit now after 18 months.

[madras]

For once I'm pleased there's an mid-season international break. There's one or two games he'll not be missing.

[Pilko]

Shake hands on 6-8 weeks after we all thought it would be a season ender tbh.

 

Although knowing the way our injuries get reported it's bound to end up being nearer 10 weeks.

[Conjo]

"Injury was not sustained on landing" so direct result of Salibas unneccessary tackle then. Cunt.

[toon25]

Thank fuck it's not bad, like
