Should be one of the hardest games of the season. Would be nice to keep a clean sheet for once and nick a winner.

 

If Botman is out I think Targett will start and Burn will move into the centre. I also think Wilson might get his first start of the season, with Isak on the bench.

 

If Botman is fit I'd be tempted to make another change or two. Maybe start with Longstaff - there were times last season when Bruno seemed to play better with Longstaff in the side. Or maybe try someone other than Miggy on the right - Livramento seemed to end up there at the end of the Man City game, so maybe that's a possibility. Or move Gordon across and bring in Barnes.

I would start Barnes and Hall for Burn (if Botman is fit) and Miggy. I suspect Howe will go unchanged if he can though

Agree, also agree Howe likely wont change it around. I still don’t think we will see Hall until after the international break, hope I’m wrong on that though. 

[ThatGinolaVolley 101]

No Botman 🙁. Targett in.

Can't see him playing Hall.  He maybe on the bench.  Think he would rather have Burn CB and Targett playing.

Nervy about that back 4. We've definitely missed out on signing a CB in the window. 

 

Miggy on the right again... 

[wykikitoon 19336]

That Defence doesn't worry me at all.  Its weakened for sure without Botty.  But it doesn't have Lascelles in! 

[MMXXVIII 1279]

I'd have dropped Bruno but I don't see them in training every day.

 

Fine with the back 4.

[Howay 12496]

Fingers crossed, sometimes wish Howe wasn’t so stubborn about new signings as Targett is a woeful full back and we’ve spent a wedge on full backs. 
 

Hopefully Almiron doesn’t miss a bunch of sitters again, as has been common in 2023 for him. 

[Christmas Tree 4448]

Would have had Murphy in for Miggy

I get that the new signings have to be super fit and up to speed with the system before they start for Howe but you’d you’d think Hall would be okay for 60-70 minutes. He’s only 19 and he’s been training with us for a couple of weeks.

 

I get why he’s not starting but it’s still a little disappointing. Targett hasn’t looked great since the first season when he arrived on loan and Burn looks vulnerable against pace. 

 

A lot will hinge on the midfield battle. They tend to have the lion’s share of possession when they play at home but we smothered them so well last time at SJP that they couldn’t play through our press. Remains to be seen whether we can do that to them at their place but I don’t see us winning by sitting back and doing them on the counter like West Ham did last week. It’s not in Howe’s dna to set us up like that

His form in late 2022 was always gonna be temporary. On limited funds where do you strengthen as a priority? He helps set the tone with his attitude and running, whilst I think his lack of quality where it matters is obvious to everyone, I think Howe put it to the back of the shelf.

[wykikitoon 19336]

What frustrates me more with Pob is his way of killing a break or chance to get the ball in the box by cutting back because he's got one foot.

Hall on the bench tho

That’s why I find our business this summer odd, we spent a wedge on Barnes and Livramento who, while I like both, don’t seem to be starters. We’d have been better off buying a right winger or a 6 (like Alvarez) with the Barnes money. 

[wykikitoon 19336]

Livramento was probably an opportunity not to be missed especially with Trippiers age.

[MMXXVIII 1279]

Aye I'd not have spunked the funds in areas we have done, I assume they saw the opportunity to sign these players as one that won't come again and we'd end up regretting.

I’d have gone for Diaby instead of Barnes (Joelinton/Gordon/Isak/Anderson all capable of playing LM) and Madison instead of Livramento.

I'm hoping Gordon will find his way to the right and that gets Barnes starting on the left eventually. Maybe this is a transition, getting upto speed thing. Same with Hall. 

[Howay 12496]

Looking at both CM’s I fancy ours to control that, hopefully that’s where we can keep the game as I feel they’re going to try and attack our flanks.
