Erikse Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Gotta say, I'm still not used to seeing a bench with decent or good senior players. Hopefully that will last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I don’t like the lineup. We would have trouble dealing with Spurs pressing, with most of our best passers on bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Not mad at Hall not starting this. Great option from the bench and also a handy midfield option should we need it. Shocked at no Sandro but 2 starts in 5 days might've been a bit much. Barnes and Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eveready Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Bit worried if they press well as I expect them to. Tino might be able to carry the ball out from the back a bit but other than that, none of them are great at progressing the ball up field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will be whinging when we can’t keep the ball and one of our most comfortable players on the ball is a full back sat on the bench. It’s not like we’ve got Schar and Botman who can break the lines with passes. Trippier isn’t there either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 It’s a cautious team but it’s not surprising. Just hope we don’t come under too much pressure, I don’t think their front line is the most athletic for the press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Not a massive fan of that right hand side of the pitch again. Not really any quality on the ball and with our passing. Think we could get bogged down again that half. The same as Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Really pleased to see Barnes and Gordon up front, showed some promising signs at Bournemouth. Would've started Sandro but understand it might be early for him - good to have as an option from the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eveready Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Thinking it may be Barnes starting out on the right. He and Tino looked to have a good understanding towards the back end of the Forest game. Also wanting to keep Gordon in his preferred position while we're hopefully trying to negotiate a new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
