Think I had too much Sunday night whisky to notice I'm sure a week of potential training ground incidents or players falling off a step ladder at home could leave us with just 10 to choose from. What I expect to see... Pope Trippier Schar Burn Hall Murphy Bruno Longstaff Joe Gordon Isak Defence should be solid enough, but it's infuriating to still have that right side.

STM Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 It's such a shame that he will pick Longstaff over Willock. Thankfully with Joelinton and Bruno in the side our midfield will dominate most anyway. Fuck me, I can't wait to see the strength on our bench. Barnes, Osula, Willock, Miggy and 2 or 3 decent defenders depending on who he chooses.

Whilst I think Willock is better and more talented than Longstaff (albeit they are different players) Both Willock and Joelinton have never looked good on the right of a midfield imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyt Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Also, Willock only featured in 2 of the preseason games, right? I think Longstaff is far more ready for a starting spot at the moment. Only discussion is who plays RB (Tino/Tripps)and who plays with Fab at CB (Kelly/Burn). Other than that the team picks itself really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems highly unlikely that Burn will go to left back. I'd love Howe to give the nod to Kelly (CB) and Hall (LB) in the first game. Again, it's just nice to have options.

I'd love Howe to give the nod to Kelly (CB) and Hall (LB) in the first game. Again, it's just nice to have options. The pre-season CB pairings have been Krafth-Burn and Schar-Kelly - Schar is pretty much a nailed on starter (if he's fit for Saturday that is) so would think that if Howe had no intention to start Kelly at CB with Schar then he'd have gone with Schar-Burn for the pre-season game against Brest. (Of course though, all could change if the new CB signing is sorted this week). Edited August 12 by Sifu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Of course though, all could change if the new CB signing is sorted this week). I think it's fair to say Guehi won't start regardless if he signs before Saturday. Howe could quite easily play the old switcheroo with regards to Burn and Kelly but my instinct is that Howe really likes Kelly. Apart from in the air, he's a better player than Burn in every other area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweMag Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Based on pre-season they play a strict 3-4-3 and will come here looking for a 0-0 draw or a 1-0 win. Don’t think it’s a bad idea to start Trippier, Burn and Willock in this game. 433: Pope, Trippier, Schär, Burn, Hall, Willock, Bruno, Joelinton, Murphy, Isak, Gordon Trippier and Willock in for creativity.
