Burnley vs Unfortunately

Good to hear from you again

 

Would it be madness to suggest sticking with 532 but putting Almiron, Willock and ASM as the “midfield” 3?

Murphy/Ritchie retain their places, Dummett, Lascelles and Fede back 3.

 

No not at all if means getting Joe max Wilson and Murphy out there too

 

Win against Burnley and Fulham lose prior day and it all just looks like it comes down to them last two games.

It then becomes about game management in between.

 

i puked up at the thought of Bruce with an erection. I mean he must have a micropenis and it will be buried under all the rolls of flab.

agree with all else you said apart from the result. I can see Us getting bummed with no lube by a Burnley team still not out of the woods yet.

 

Well that's just it - surely if it's a back 5, you can be more creative at the front?

Dubs in nets.

Murphy and Ritchie wing backs.

Fede, Lascelles and Dummett 3 CB's (please God no more Krapth, can't take it)

Longstaff CM

Almiron and ASM right and left midfield-ish

Joelinton playing off Wilson (or Gayle depending on fitness).

I'm struggling to see why we couldn't play that way? All our best players on the pitch, lot of attack, width and numbers in the middle.

 

We're going to have to put up with shelvey all season... Willock will end up not wanting to stay because he's going to be on the bench every week which is why he left arsenal

 

Dubravka
Manquillo Fernandez Clark Dummett
Willock Shelvey/Longstaff
Almiron St Maximin Joelinton
Wilson

Let them worry about us.

 

I'd be happy with that for sure

 

Good to see you Tash. Hope you're doing well.

What about Almiron in for Gayle? He likes to run at defenders and I can't see him being worse in front of goal than Gayle was on Sunday.

 

Almiron should be the first name on the team sheet.

 

He should but Bruce seems to think it's Shelvey

 

Bruce is just slow. Fingers crossed by the time we're in the bottom 3 of the championship he'll figure it out. Have faith.

 

Faith is an unreliable pathway to truth.

Shelvey is ****

 

Maybe you should tell him to do it alphabetically.

 

I don't know why I read that as I perked up when I first read it, but I was worried for you for a minute there.

 

With Bruce that would happen purely because of the alphabet.

 

Dang you beat me to it.

 

You have to get up 6hrs earlier (due to time zones) to beat me to these witty ripostes.

 

Ha ha. Ok. I’m usually awake early. But not that early so it will have to be the latter.
