LFEE Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) If it’s a broken toe you’d think 6wks minimum for it to knit plus rehab. Timing bad as with AG on 4 yellows you’d imagine Barnes was due a lot of game time. Edited September 26, 2023 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Its a shame but Gordon is looking good. Isak can play out there and I think we were at our best last season with the Willock/Joelinton combo out on the left. Joelinton can definitely step in too.

Ironic after all the issues around the RHS and people wanting it strengthened that we’ve got 3 of the 5 players who can play LHS out injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Howe bought Barnes so that he could take the injury instead of Gordon. Man can see the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our record signing and one of the most promising strikers in Europe. Putting him at LW is stupid when he's needed at CF and we have others who can play out wide. "Isak LW" seems to be the new "Schar / Coloccini DM". And it's no less stupid. Edited September 26, 2023 by Chris_R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Isak LW" seems to be the new "Schar / Coloccini DM". And it's no less sensible. I agree, I remember last season when he was wide. The only times he did anything of value was when he went into positions where he would be as a striker anyways. He got himself into those positions less frequently, and stopped scoring goals as a result. Also the defensive contribution was obviously going to be really bad. Problem is that we can't play Gordon every single game, so if Joelinton is not ready soon then Isak might have to step in anyways. Unless we want to play Anderson at LW.

OverThere Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Gordon, Anderson, Big Joe & Isak can all fill that spot. Fortunately left forward is probably our most stocked position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 We're pretty well stocked on that left hand side, we'll be fine. A real shame for Barnes though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Real shame about this. Hopefully Joelinton can get back to full fitness soon and he'll cover LW when needed/when Gordon is suspended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People shoehorning him into their imaginary FM line-ups to have both him and Wilson playing at the same time is getting incredibly boring. It'll be a fun meme in 10 years time though.

The College Dropout Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I don't fully buy the "well stocked" angle. We are competing in 4 competitions and already have injuries. Gordon needs a rest on Weds. I expect Isak to start up top. So we're looking at Anderson LW, Isak, Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) What a pisser. Injuries are the fly in the ointment. I'm placated but for that. Suppose this is the least vulnerable area albeit that brings fatigue into it for the others now. Edited September 26, 2023 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
