Nope, yellows don’t carry over, likely to stop tactical suspensions. Although if he got sent off against Wolves (1 match ban only) he would serve that against Man U I think.

Mikky Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Good Lord everything was looking good just a few weeks back. Then Tonali gets a ban - Anderson crocked - Murphy crocked - Isak crocked - Miley with potentially a long term virus - Botman still out - Barnes long term Probably one positive is we’ll see a bit more of Tino and Hall who can provide good cover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think unfortunately we will be worse off for it though. Hall especially is not currently at the same level as any of the midfielders (where he'll have to play because we have Burn and Targett at LB ahead of him and with Anderson and Tonali out we're low in numbers there) we have and Tino has proved he's quality but he is a different type of player from Trippier, who we'd miss massively if Tino replaces him at any point.

That's my exact point, I'd rather we not be in this position where they HAVE to play, but because of injuries and bans we will have to. Obviously Livramento is going to come in for Tripps at some point (probably Man Utd) but I'm interested to see where Hall comes in, because I don't see him replacing Burn or Targett at LB for any upcoming games.

STM Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I'd 100% trust Livramento in a RW role FWIW. I'm not saying it would be ideal but I doubt we'd suffer much from him playing there. I actually think him and Trippier would dovetail well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Livra will end up getting minutes on the wing. Tomorrow if we want to take Almiron off - there's only him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No at this moment you have to use Hall as potential wing cover as we have 2 experienced LBs ahead Could we play 3 at the back? The old Rafa system?

When's the last time we had a prospect, home grown or otherwise, actually come up, play games, and reach potential?

You could argue Longstaff in the current team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Yeah that's fair. I don't remember Taylor as a rookie, and Longstaff's circuitous trajectory had me not thinking of him as a prospect come good, but he absolutely is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Fingers crossed for Isak, because CF is where we are most vulnerable. In the recent past, our squad players have stepped up when we needed them. Sven Botman is one of the first names on the teamsheet, but Lascelles has been doing great in his place. Krafth played well when Trippier wasn't available. Keep the faith! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 this is such an important game. the defeat to dortmund, tonali's ban, and the horrific injury list has sort of left everyone on a downer. really need some positivity so a win would be just so vital.
