TheBrownBottle Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Not particularly confident for this one. And given that it is on at the only correct and proper kick off time for a weekend match (Sat 3pm GMT) I’ll be giving it a miss (2am Sydney time).

Think he has a good understanding with Almiron also. Didn’t look good at all vs Bournemouth at LB. Trippier has played there multiple times for England. Always better to play experienced players slightly out of position rather than a young lad whose confidence could be wrecked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal came down that side, but there was nothing he could've done considering the deflection. Trippier was poor on both sides in that game.

I am writing that game off personally. I would go for Trippier left back because he has shown on numerous occasions for England that he can do a job there with Tino on the right where he has been one of our best players this season when he has been given chances.

Erikse Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) Maybe I'm silly, but I'd rather play Joelinton upfront than Gordon if Isak is still out. Atleast Joelinton has some height and strength, Gordon looked a bit lost up there last time. I think Gordon on the left would be better.

Atleast Joelinton has some height and strength, Gordon looked a bit lost up there last time. Disagree on this one. Joelinton can score goals but I think only consistently when running through from midfield onto balls where he’s got some space. I think he’d be shite playing up top as the target man. Gordon, while not ideal either as he would struggle to get into the game at least has more pace to cause problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he score 2? It was against Norwich in april 2022 if I remember correctly. Can't remember whether we have played him up top after that.

Don't know why Joelinton don't seem capable at it up top considering how much of a monster he is from midfield. ------Gordon------ Joelinton----Almiron Willock-Bruno-whomever is fit (swap position with Bruno if it is Miley) Hall-schar-Lascelles-Trippier/Livramento -------Pope-------- Joelinton and Willock to cover and swap positions as they feel like. Edit: Trippier for Hall if he can't play against Chelsea. Livramento at RB Edited November 24, 2023 by Conjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Joelinton, as much as I love the big man, was absolutely honking up top v Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Gordon wasn't great either.. I just think we're getting so much more from Gordon when he's playing on the left. It's our main threat, and feels like he was wasted up top against Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
