Our whole left side gone in an instant. MOTM performance against Liverpool's only truly huge threat as well. At least we're firmly underdogs now, albeit I'm not at the stage of willingly giving up in a fucking cup final that others seem to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's reminiscent of the Sheff U game last season or around that time. Around that week Tonali gambling charge came out, Barnes & Botman got their season ending injuries. I think Isak got injured around that time too? The season fell apart around that time even if we won that game by a landslide, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season fell apart around that time even if we won that game by a landslide, I take your point about Barnes and Botman, but we only lost one in next 9 after Sheff Utd. Beat Man City, PSG, Man Utd and Arsenal. Would take that again… It was following Dortmund away that things went south, albeit we still managed some notable results (PSG away) but eventually it caught up with us through December.

And the Tonali news. All season ending. That was the cornerstone of our eventual injury crisis + Willock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 5, 2025 Share Posted March 5, 2025 Apart from Isak probably the player I’d least want to lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 5, 2025 Share Posted March 5, 2025 This feels like a huge blow. Tino will cover adequately defensively, but it will leave us looking blunt on both sides of the pitch with Gordon out too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyt Posted March 5, 2025 Share Posted March 5, 2025 Might be a bit unpopular opinion, but Matt Targett is anyways slightly better player than Hall. More solid defensively and is a better crosser of the ball. So no worries. Been very impressed of Targett lately. Discuss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in the Europe-ometer I think - having sold Almiron & that defender - we needed to have really good luck with injuries to get 5th. Gordon is our second biggest attacking threat and he's missing the Cup Final. Liverpool have a great bench and we don't at our strongest. With the injuries we have, we have even less off the bench. Gordon will miss 2 games we need a minimum of 4 points from. Our form and belief is shakey. A lot will depend on the injury news from Botman and Isak. IMO we need these lads fit pretty much every game from now til the end of the season. Against West Ham we need Isak, we need Botman. We are bang average without them. We are chasing in the league. We need 3 more points than Chelsea, 4 more than Forest and need to match Bournemouth & Brighton at least over the next 11 games. Our margin for error is slim. Every injury is a huge blow, let alone missing multiple games like Gordon or season-enders like Hall. Having the likes of Barnes & Trippier to bring off the bench was one of our power moves against our rivals. Having to start them and having less quality off the bench is a huge blow. I dunno man. We needed luck and we haven't had it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino did deliver the best cross i've ever seen from him with his left foot on the weekend mind. Curled in at a good pace. Usually he just thumps it hard and straight on his right foot.

Benwell Lad Posted March 5, 2025 Share Posted March 5, 2025 Two options going forward, a back 4 from Trippier, Schar, Burn, Tino and Targett or if we get Botman back on the pitch a back 5 with Schar, Botman and Burn the 3 CBs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're looking for straws to clutch he'll still be observing Ramadan - adheres to it pretty strictly IIRC, doesn't even drink water - and the sun won't set until around the end of the 90 minutes. So there's a chance he'll be a little bit off his usual level anyway. Extra time may be an issue though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
