Unbelievable Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 On 18/01/2025 at 11:17, wormy said: Schar available and he goes to the bench? You have to question Eddie's lack of loyalty, there. Can't be good for morale. Expand What? I love Fabian Schar, but the guy took a very silly yellow on the halfway line vs Man U when the game was pretty much over for a one match ban (which together with his league cup suspension meant a two game layoff). Botman came into the team and after about 10 minutes of shaking off some rustiness looked like he'd never been away. Schar then got ill for Wolves and again Botman played, and played very well. If anything Botman getting the nod here again is Eddie showing loyalty to Botman who for the last three games against serious opposition did pretty damn well in a pairing with Burn. It's Schar's place to re-win now, and Botman's and Burn's to lose, and rightfully so in my opinion. No player should just expected to walk straight back in after a suspension or injury layoff, especially when the guy stepping in hasn't put a foot wrong.

alexf Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 They have good athletic players that we need to be careful in transitions. Tino can match them but if they get 1v1 against our other back 3 then we have problems. I would say this game is more about us though. If we play well and our energy levels are good then we win. Bournemouth will cause us more problems than Wolves if we're not on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
