andycap Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 I'd of went with osula up top to be a focal point for our wing play and to be a nuisance. Instead of having Murphy start. I know he's young but gordon isn't exactly playing well this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn up like shit, and they deserve every moaning coming their way. Personally I'm not gonna prime myself for moaning and am generally more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt (or just be more forgiving), given they've played out of their skins for years. Anyway, fingers crossed we do areet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I would have also been tempted by Almirón. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 we'll need a miracle or them not showing up Isak out is a hammer blow like toughest home game of the season big fear is we go all out for 60 mins only for them to then kill us off with their subs hope I'm wrong!

Novocastrian Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 (edited) No point sweating it, we won’t know what version of NUFC will turn up until about half an hour in. Howe probably doesn’t know either, we’ll probably at least given them something to think about. I’m more concerned that the totally forseeable scenario of both Isak and Wilson being injured has occurred after 5 league games. The £15m back up striker appears to be 4th choice and would probably have been loaned out if it wasn’t for the other injuries.

ExiledGeordie Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 We’ve won once in 33 or something. Be great to get sometime but can’t see it. The Everton match next week gives us a greater indication of what’s going to happen moving forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Osula gets a run out on the pitch for 20mins or so assuming the result isn't in the balance. He's not a 15yr old, I'm sure he can handle coming on as a sub and having a go at them given half a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 Got to be brave today. We’re not going to out pass Man City in midfield, but should out run and out pace them. All about making the right pass and decisions when we get the chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds mad considering we have no strikers but I can sort of understand the thinking. They are also missing KDB, Aki and Rodri, we are at home, and after Eddie's veiled warnings to his team, I can see our lads coming out flying. Still a big ask over 90 mins but I think a point is doable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 A ‘gallant’ defeat today. No recognised striker fit, which is always a worry. This is the problem when not replacing Wilson, as we should have done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be great for a mid table or relegation threatened team. Can pick those teams up a fair few points on his own against their league rivals in the few games he plays. We should have been getting someone more ready to step up in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon will almost double as an extra midfielder in this which is where the game will be won and lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 The Sky Sports headline, "Isak misses out, Lewis starts" nearly gave me a heart attack. Until I remembered Jamal Lewis is in Brazil, so it was Rico for City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
