2021/22 Rafael Benitez

Play 4 at the back against Norwich.

Pickford

Patterson Mina Branthwaite Mykolenko

Allan Doucouré

Townsend Richarlison Gray

DCL

I'd be surprised if Patterson starts at all this season barring injuries. He didn't even start at Rangers and Coleman is better than their RB even in his old age. Also we need to play MF 3

Throw 4 players who've just returned to training straight in? Have you learned nothing?

A championship team that

Way it going it might be

I just know we will concede if we play the like in Keane, Holgate and Kenny at the back. 3 points is a must.

Yes and if we throw them back in they will likely get bigger injuries. Unless you only started supporting us this week that is a guarantee.

Ha true though. Everton that.

However I am desperate for a win on Sat.

I'd say we should be beating them even missing a few but we also suck.

Hoping for the best mate. Fingers crossed Everton can nick a win.

I'm not holding my breath but he probably needs to go if he can't get all 3 points against Norwich with a fully fit squad. Seriously it's going to leave us in big trouble if we don't win at least 3 of the next 5 and if he can't beat Norwich then I'm not confident he can beat any of the rest of them. Even a draw here isn't good enough imo

Nah, as much as I want him gone I don't agree with the bold. You can't be throwing these players in after training for a few days - pure reckless.

Wtf that got to do with defending set pieces.

Because if he's the lone striker we have no one up there to hit if we break from set pieces to attack.

*sigh*

Tell me the last time we've ever had someone on the half way line or even remotely near it when defending corners to break?

'kin ell.

We had players who could carry the ball and break at pace like DCL and Richarlison. Rondon cant do that.

He’s totally avoided your question. In Daves world, having someone who can break equates to being able to structurally setup to defend set pieces

 

[Yarrgh]

In Poland lol

Oh SCORE

Maybe write about Robert Warzycha?
