All of them should have played. They won't be starting this one and it was a reasonable gap in between.
***an Walcott and Bowden were the obvious ones who should have featured, with the only logical reason why Bowden didn't play was if he has that oft-rumoured loan lined up Considering some of the baffling tactical choices - Markanday at LB, Skinner in CM - the club probably should have asked Burnett to take a urine test
It’ll be a mix today you’d have thought. I imagine the senior players who’ve been in training for a few days now will get at least 45 mins. Then surely we’ll mix it up with 2 games in 2 days next weekend and go full strength against Watford for at least half the game to take a look at the team dynamic there.
For anyone out there that's currently in the US, this match is supposedly streaming on BR Live. It's region locked, so nobody should mask their IP and watch it from elsewhere...
On the plus side, at least we won't be trying to work out who the mystery trialists were several days afterwards...
Positives * Foyth/Sessegnon as the asymmetrical FBs is something I've been hoping to see since, like, February * Hojbjerg getting a run-out * Somebody found Jack Clarke and Gedson down the back of the sofa Negatives * What formation are we playing? * Davies at CB can work in a back three, but not a back four * Dane Scarlett is the only striker in the entire squad
4-3-3 or 4-4-2 diamond, perhaps? It's ridiculous that we still don't have a striker and we've got about 6 keepers available.
And the site is ****ing ****. Anyone got it to work yet? Edit: It's working now. I had to log out, then log back in, reload the page at some point and click lots of buttons. ****ing shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
