My Blood Is Blue Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I'm now back to dreading our matches and after recent performances against Brighton, this could be really bad. Changes needed due to suspension. Let's hope Nkunku makes the bench. Sanchez Gusto - Disasi - Silva - Colwill Gallagher - Caicedo - Enzo Palmer - Broja - Sterling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flllerywhereru2 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 It's going to be fine, worse case scenario from a nasty run of 4 games we emerge with 4 points which is perhaps more than some expected. I think we will give Brighton a game, they will miss Dunk at the back and we could have Nkunku available to pester their back line. Oh and i am going which is usually a good sign...i have a habit of not seeing us lose very often. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez Gusto - Disasi - Silva - Colwill Gallagher - Caicedo - Enzo Palmer - Broja - Sterling Pretty much how I'd line us up given our options. The one possibly adjustment I'd seriously consider however would be upfront. Rather than bringing Broja in, I'd entertain shifting either Sterling or Palmer into the middle and getting Mudryk into the team out wide. Sort of how we played in one of our other games this season, which I can't seem to recall right now. Mudryk tends to look more comfortable starting than coming off the bench, and then it still leaves us with options upfront should we choose to make adjustments later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel his time is done. I’d put Benoit Badass Badashile in there. Solid player, absolute unit. Really like the look of him. Still unsure of Colwill at LB but with no Chilly B or Cucurella we have no choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 So much pressure is being put on Nkunku to perform. When he does appear, he is likely to get the attention of an oaf, and we will see an old-fashioned reducer. He needs to be warned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east lower Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 So we’ve no James and possibly no Gusto, therefore some makeshift effort at right-back against Mitoma - sounds fun to watch. Heart hopes for a win, head says loss. If we could get some of the ball and pressure them, then with no Dunk we might just get at them a bit. They do concede goals, if we are to beat them we’ll need at least 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwmh Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Comparing the "predictions" made here it is curious to see how hope flip flops so sharply. Of course they may not be so much predictions, but hedge bets where the head backs the opposite view of the heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_sw6 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 If Gusto's injured I'd play Disasi at RB as he's played there a couple of times, then Silva and Benoit at CB and Colwill at LB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have many alternatives but Disasi is super-slow when he has to twist and turn. Good player, but putting him up against Mitoma will really highlight his weaknesses and he could get turned inside out. The prospect of him or Cucurella at RB is not a great one. I'd play a semi-fit Gusto personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I thought Cucurella did well against Mitoma earlier in the season. Unfortunately, he is suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason why Poch should try highlighting the way our games are officiated most of the cards were for dissent as the players lost their heads with it.

No - another reason to wonder how Poch got employed after being out of a job for 24 of the last 42 months. It isn't as though the clamp down on dissent wasn't clearly announced in advance. He isn't managing the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
