ExiledGeordie Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 This is where it gets interesting. Sunday game, midweek v City, weekend game v Burnley then PSG. Players will have to be rotated. I agree with a few, either left back or right back might come in but not both. Livramento seems the most likely to start but a lot might come down to niggles and fatigue. Wilson to start for me, Barnes and Elliott to come back in too. Definitely missing Willock in these rotations and a fully fit Joelinton for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big chance to pick up a solid away win and get the league form started properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Think the only change we’ll see is Murphy out and either Miggy or Barnes in. Then we’ll see wholesale changes for the Carabao Cup game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another issue with not signing a DM is we have no one to bring in for Bruno, unless they think Miley is ready ? Id be surprised if the team isn’t the same as it was against Brentford except Miggy in for Gordon. We will then see wholesale changes against City in the cup.

Definitely missing Willock in these rotations and a fully fit Joelinton for that matter. Nit-picking but that's either 'Harvey AND Elliott' or 'Barnes AND Anderson' Using the formal AND familiar in the context of two people suggests favouritism. In a similar vein I'm sure I heard the commentator, last night, call Bruno, er, "Bruno" That's fine but I felt, if he's going to be familiar and for the benefit of the wider audience, he should quantify that by adding "Good" As in "Good Bruno" That way the audience won't be confused with the other, rat faced, whiny cunt, "Shit Bruno" Much easier to stick with surnames. Unless there's a Good Smith and/or a Shit Smith, I guess ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I'm relieved we've got until Sunday for this, like. Pretty crucial that we get a positive result here cos there's absolutely zero chance we progress in the League Cup, considering what team we'll be forced to field against Man City. Could do without going into Burnley (h) without mounting pressure and a bad feeling. I wouldn't take a draw if you offered it, but it probably wouldn't be the worst result in the world. In literally every other season since the beginning of football they'd have just won at Spurs, so they're obviously not mugs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 At some point Howe is going to have to actually rest one of those back 4 rather than just wait for them to get injured till he changes it. Needs to start getting Livramento some proper game time. Sheff Utd would be the perfect timing and opponent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 3 points a must here, could potentially define the season. Lose/draw and then go out in the League Cup in the same week could potentially cause chaos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if 2-3 of the defence were rested v City. Edited September 20, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Hopefully, this is our Fulham from last season. Interesting to look back at our start last year. We were great against Forest and had strong underdog displays against City & Liverpool, but were a bit insipid against Wolves, Palace, and Bournemouth. From Fulham, things started to click a lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just trying to say that losing to a newly promoted side and bowing out of the League Cup could add some real pressure to the side that they havn’t really felt. I’m not one of them, but losses to Man City, Brighton and Liverpool had people questioning Howe and the squad on here. People have even turned on our best players..
