Yorkie Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Poor lad must fucking hate his body, like. I really feel for him at this stage; bloody pec injury ffs. Don't think I've heard of that ever being a thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The term “made of glass” gets thrown around too easily but Wilson genuinely is a walking injury. Says a lot about his ability that he’s had the career he’s had in spite of those injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 From what I can remember it was entirely his own fault. Looked like he inured it whilst needlessly wrestling with a Forrest defender after the ball had gone out for a goal kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) So anyway, back to the line up I'd like to see but almost certainly won't happen (that said he moved Bruno forward last week so)... Dubravka Trippier Schar Botman Burn Longstaff Bruno Murphy Gordon Barnes Wilson Obviously Livramento but let's not go there. In this formation I'd allow Barnes and Gordon as much flexibility as they want to swap positions. In fact I'd encourage it because Bournemouth won't know who they are marking. Also given Howes ability to teach people positioning, Gordon could easily drop into that left 8 role while we are defending. I just think this formation gives Miley a break and what a great sub to have. Edited February 14 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnsy Not sure Barnes has the pace of discipline to play auxiliary LB so might be better to leave Gordon there. He's rapid enough to help Burn out whenever the ball goes to that side. None of the midfield 3 have enough pace to get over to cover quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Be a similar game to Luton imo, probably won’t be as high scoring though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Wilson is the premier league version of every bloke I know approaching 40; a new injury every month and the old ones never quite heal. edit: myself included of course.

nufc123 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Is it carzy to suggest Barnes as striker? Gordon is much better on the left side vs being a ST/RW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 You can never tell with Howe in his press conferences. But based on what he is saying and me guessing. Sounds like Isak and Willock will miss tomorrow. But back for Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Isak and Willock very very close, Murphy hasn’t trained yet this week. Anderson and Targett 10 days away from first team training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexumaster Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Is it just me who finds it mental that we, as a side who've been in the CL this season (albeit first in an age), only have two strikers? One of which the club already knew was injury-prone? Maybe it's been like this for a long time, but my brain just expects there to at least be a young lad/unknown/clogger to give a chance?

We only ever play with one. The ideal scenario would have been to rotate Isak and Wilson with Gordon being the back up striker if needed. That was until Barnes had his toe fall off.

Don't know how many times people have mentioned the fact no other clubs have three first team strikers especially with Howe preferring a settled team over rotation how could we possibly keep three strikers happy to stay here? Even Chris Wood was outta here at the first opportunity once both Isak and Wilson were fit, and we were more than happy to sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 If Isak isn't playing tomorrow I would happily let him sit out the Arsenal game as well and keep him fresh for Blackburn which is a much bigger game in terms of our season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
