David Edgar Posted yesterday at 08:41 Share Posted yesterday at 08:41 Would like Pope to get more game time if he is gonna be number 1. Needs to shake off the rust and gain some confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe will see it this way too and next weekend will be used as the opportunity/option to rotate a few. I honestly can't believe the amount of people stating we play a weakened team. We're not City, Liverpool, Arsenal or Man U whom have won countless trophies since we last won a domestic trophy. We have to play our strongest team possible in all matches coming up until the end of the season. We have 8 days between now and the next game, so there is no reason why not.

The issue with that is the commitment to basically being counter attacking. Does Wilson have the legs for that now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted yesterday at 09:09 Share Posted yesterday at 09:09 On another note, I'm absolutely shitting it about this game. Especially if Isak isn't fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT24 Posted yesterday at 09:27 Share Posted yesterday at 09:27 Pope - get minutes Tino Schar Botman (if fit, Burn if not) Hall Miley - deserves a start, Bruno needs a rest Tonali Willock Murphy Wilson - needs minutes, Isak on at 60 if not going well Barnes - can offer something for Wilson, Gordon needs a rest Would be the team I play today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he’s coasting a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpingel Posted yesterday at 11:14 Share Posted yesterday at 11:14 Think the result depends on how they approach it as much as how we do. Mitoma, Pedro and Rutter starting are obviously dangerous. Minteh too because of the story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted yesterday at 11:26 Share Posted yesterday at 11:26 (edited) Time to put in a proper performance. Set the tone by not wasting possession after 30 seconds. I want focus and no sloppiness. Want us to look sharp and decisive. Edited yesterday at 11:27 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted yesterday at 11:30 Share Posted yesterday at 11:30 14 hours ago, frankpingel said: Don't think anyone's advocating risking unfit/injured players. But we should be treating this the same way as if it were a PL match. A win could lead to an historic season. We keep getting people saying we should go full strength for every fixture though, and in my opinion, this is partly what has led to us looking jaded and playing at 60% in some games. For me full strength means picking a side which can run for 90 mins and give everything. We should have used Miley more for example, and we absolutely should go with Wilson or Osula if there's any doubt over Isak. I thought it was daft keeping him on for 80 mins against Forest when we were 4-1 up at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
