I am a man of my word.
But on this occasion it’s too risky. I know Eddie likes to bed the players in.
But I want Tonali to start. He’s one of the best midfielders in the world.

I think he looks way off the pace and I think Howe will slowly bleed him in over a month or so.
They are on the bench.
It will be Longstaff, Hayden & Hendrick starting. With Murphy & Fraser on the wings.
Not as many as Almiron does
If we’re not playing Almiron then we have to be playing Gordon
How do we know how many Murphy would get ? He's been scoring a few tbh looked sharp pre season.
Gordon is worse than max for end product - Gordon isn't the finished article Barnes is.
It's a such a better debate assessing who should start out of Wilson, Isak, Gordon, Miggy and Barnes as a front 3 and who should start out of Bruno, Joelinton, Tonali, Longstaff, Anderson in midfield, vs where we were just 2 years ago.
Sucky owns you for life till I win it off him this year
He let me off too ... what's our bet?
You’re twisting against your own arguments.
My front three has to be Barnes, Isak and Gordon
To be fair, Murphy has improved tremendously under Howe. He was simply shocking before that. But he still shouldn't be near the match day squad now.
