Personally I would have given him a rest. With Leicester coming, we don't need to push him so hard. Remember how knackered he looked toward the end of last season cause we played him so much. But its fine this game, if he gets subbed on the hour hopefully, but unlikely considering Ole's disdain for substituting early.
Since then they signed Carroll and Downing, had Hodgson as manager, was in the relegation zone for a period of time and couldn't get any lower. They sacked Hodgson and had pretty much a deep clean of the squad so there were no foundations of success to build from.Bruno
Man needs a rest!Oh for heaven's sake rest Bruno.
This have an injury to Bruno written all over it. I know winning the League Cup can be good for forming a winning mentality or whatever, but an injury to Bruno would feck our season up. We're a completely different team with him.
Fantastic post.
Zero medical evidence of how a lack of rest leads to a larger likelihood of significant injuries. No work has been done on this in the past 2 decades in sports medicine.
Just man up, and play as was the case in the good ol days.
And how does the disaster that was Hicks and Gillette's ownership factor in here? Going close to administration and spending time in the bottom half of the table really lays the foundation for success.
Or maybe it was just H. Klopp being diplomatic in the wake of M. Houllier's passing?
Two games a week. Every week. For the past 3 months. Do you think this is normal?This better not be the start of the centre halves at right back nonsense again.
I thought we were over this rubbish.
I thought Williams would have started at RB. Surprised how he’s been left out completely.
You know, I've always wondered, what would a good ass do?Horrible line up.
Think he will do 70A mixture of happiness and extreme fear seeing Bruno start again.The quality of our squad compared to just 18 months ago. Shame about Ighalo though.
I also swapped Henderson and Bailly out of my predicted lineup at the last minute too.If I was Bruno I’d want to play every minute of every game with the form he’s in, can totally understand him starting. That and we’re half the team without him in the starting 11!Dumb decision to start bruno. Knowing our luck, he'll be injured in the 3rd minute and ole out will be trending
Can I throw in another one?
Bailly to make a ghastly mistake that leads to an everton goal
A rest from what? You think he’s just going to be sat at home all week with his feet on the sofa if he doesn’t play tonight?Too strong a line up. Bruno needs to be rested, as does Maguire
Injuries ? No, but they'll get tired eventually and this will affect their form. While I can get past Bruno starting today, him getting rest would have been better.4-2-3-1?We have no pace on the pitch. Wouldn't be surprised if our start is the same as vs West Ham.So, what's the cafe confidence level heading in to this game? I'm worried that I don't see any negativity. Guess I should just wait for the first 5 mins of the game.No width and no pace, with a CB playing at right back. I’m not expecting many chances. Hopefully Cavani and Greenwood have their shooting boots on.Doesn't Greenwood have pace?
Bend over ?
Maybe Bruno didn’t want to be rested. After all he’s the manager on the pitch.Two strong teams. Both sides want a trophy this season. Should be a good game.
He’s one of our quickest
The definition of an optimistCan’t lose to a team with Iwobi in it surely.442 diamond from the looks of it, surprised Bruno is starting.Bruno has a good track record against Everton. Everton lines up with pretty much their first XI that's available for selection.
Should be a good match.
Oh god! I’ve got the sweats thinking about it
I'll take 34th
It is but Everton have their full team out. It won't be easy this at all.
He'd never admit it in public but I don't think Ole would be overly bothered if we don't get through. He understands the schedule and also understands the league Cup won't keep him in a job.
Yeah not sure why folks are saying we have no pace. This team isn't slow, may not be super fast, but there is decent pace. The only other 2 are Rash and Martial, but Greenwood is up there with them both. Fred and McTominay are similar in pace to what Pobga (Well probably a bit faster) and Donny would be. Would understand if Matic and Mata were in the side to then say we have no pace in the side.
Also we have Tuanzebe who is faster than Lindelof as well as Bailly (although sudden sprinting may just give him another injury)- Status
