A bit early but why the **** not? We've be fully fit again in April. I'd start with - ASM-----------Wood----------Fraser -----Joelinton-Bruno-Willock------ Targett---Burn----Schar----Krafth -----------------Dubz------------------- Yes I'd go with ASM. I really hope we don't puss out and go 5 at the back. If our team is fit, it picks itself IMO. I don't want to see Almiron on the wing. ASM should be starting, Almiron/Murphy can come on later to defend. Not ****ing ASM making sub apps, which is obviously not his forte. Start him, score, then bring him off when we're defending a win/draw.
I don't think it matters who Howe plays... Much like Bruce he's got a ****e squad to choose from. If our best attacker is max then there's your problem right there.
For Spurs, we should go to a double pivot in midfield with Jonjo back in alongside Bruno. They both want the ball and can cycle the ball, it's a good combination to try and get hold of a game. Willock to play central and be more advanced, looking to press with his great energy and make intelligent runs - he is the guy we need to get scoring, Wood - he needs to be dropped. You cannot play THAT badly week in, week out and retain your spot. I'll get crucified for suggesting it, but Joelinton looked a bit lost last night. It was as if he looked like a player playing out of position - it's weird, considering how well he's adapted. But before his confidence takes a battering, maybe rest Wood and play big Joe up top for the Spurs game? He's got a memory of scoring against them, his confidence is much higher than it was. I just cannot see the point in putting Wood back in - the guy's a lumbering sack of crap, he's doing nothing. Constantly losing the ball, heading it to nowhere, never being in the right place and generally just getting in the way. I mean, if he couldn't find a bit of form after scoring then what hope is there?
If we’re fully foot wouldn’t we be playing Wilson? I don’t want to get all Roly on you all but Wilson is slightly better
Indeed, fully fit would include both Wilson & Trippier, but they won't be ready for Spuds. Just hope they do both play again this season, we badly miss both of them.
He said “fully foot” not “fully fit” do keep up. I don’t know what it means either but he’s a teacher so it will be some modern thing. Just agree, it makes us look clever…
It'll take a good month to get back to fitness for both. They might be needed if things get uncomfortable, but otherwise I doubt we'll see either this season.
I think we will see Trippier, bone isn't like muscle, once it's healed it's healed, there's no risk of reinjury like with muscle.
Yes but fitness will take a while and injurys do **** up your performance levels for while. I think if we're safe they'll avoid rushing them back unless they're 100%!
