Postecoglou's Kane-less "Top 4? You're Having A Laugh" Overachievers vs Eddie's Enervated Epic "Same XI As Last Time" Battlers

[Holden McGroin 7888]

Top 4 is gone this year I reckon. We’ll never catch villa.  Ah well, been some good memories and injuries have fucked us. 
 

this could get embarrassing

Livramento on the left with Hall on the right would seem logical, unless Gloom is correct.

Bring Hall on and move Livramento to the right.

Howe's not infallible. The players on the bench must be sick as a chip watching this shite and wondering why they can't get a game. 

Expand  

Which players in particular? Longstaff and Wilson just coming back from injury....

Dummet and Hall can play LB, Tino and Krafth can play RB. Full back is pretty much the only position we have options on atm

But a couple of us questioned where the subs were on Thursday before the goal and we got pelters for it.  Krafth and Ritchie should have been brought on a lot sooner than they did.

Aye but you're also saying it's not fatigue. So is Trippier just suddenly shit now?

Expand  

 

Fatigue is of course a factor but aye he's been very shit these 2 games.

The two goalies will be raging they aren't getting game time at right back.

[Ayatollah Hermione 15031]

If Howe can trust the likes of Dummett and Krafth at Old Trafford and against Man City in the cup, they can play one game in the league

Who would you change?

Expand  

 

I would put bairns on if that's all there is.

 

I'm not saying you can make changes and NOT worsen the team. I'm saying you have to accept that these 10 outfield players need a rest.

 

We're getting twatted anyway. You could have done the maths on this before the game and just taken the hit and let some of them have a rest.

Top five are likely to get CL.

Hall, Dummett, Krafth, Ritchie. What's the point in having a squad if you just run the same 11 players into the ground until they get injured

Sounds like bullshit to me. 

Expand  

almost surely speculation but the suggestion was he was one of Ashworth’s picks  

 

it’s a bit weird that he never gets a game and on the rare occasion he has, he’s been hooked at half time twice. And against Everton ritchie and Krafth we’re getting on before him when we were desperate for fresh legs and a bit of energy.

I said Thursday that Howe's achilies heal was his timing of subs.  Got laughed at as the subs bench was bairns and Krafth / Ritchie.

Remember when we played Sheffield Wednesday? You'd fancy that against Spurs? Ridiculous.

Does that depend on us or Man U doing well in the CL though?

Cannot believe we let Richarlison score man, he's an absolute fucking fraud of a player.

Expand  

 Yup. Trust Howe and all that but we've not even remotely looked like competing these 2 games so you might as well have taken a chance with Hall etc and had some players rested for coming games. As it is we're just fecked all around now.

Dummett's probably still recovering from so many minutes on the pitch.

[Gemmill 52217]

Neville man you fucking helmet, we've lost half the squad to injury. This isn't a team that just can't cope with Europe. Little cunt.

 

Still beat your shite club even on half legs.

I think fatigue is 100% the only factor in his performance last few games. 
He’s one of our older players, has been superb since we signed him. 
 

You don’t just suddenly become a bad player- he’s absolutely fucked.

[wykikitoon 23696]

To suggest Trippier is on a bad day other than fatigue is madness. 

He's allowed a bad game, he's not fucking immortal.  But I think the mistakes he's making at the moment is purely down to fatigue.
