Team vs Forest

[Smartin]

Id be upset if Diarra even made the bench, he is f***ing terrible

 

[Mackem DJ]

Maybes he rates him differently to others. Maybes he thinks he's worth persevering with.

Maybes our best manager in years is smarter than you're giving him credit for.

Alternatively, maybes he's scared of dropping Habib Diarra

Didnt say he’s scared he just doesnt have the balls to drop the record signing and start an 18 yearold in his place.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Hasn’t had a run of games to build any sort of form IMO. Liverpool wanted him, he’s a Dutch international, great game against the Mags etc. surely a better option?

Liverpool wanted him on loan until the end of the season because they had no other RB option. He's largely been poor.

 

[Mackem DJ]

Same people who claimed Hume was the golden boy who’d never be dropped when Mukiele came back, only for him to drop to the bench when Mukiele came back.

Hume has been so harshly done to.

 

[Longy]

Ballard in for O’Nein. Or Alderete if he’s injured. Rest will stay the same.

Doesn't have the balls

He definitely hasn’t been poor like

Rigg starts ahead of Diarra for me

 

[Arfa Sleep]

He's had more poor games than great.

 

[Steesafc]

Who does he pass that too if you take off our midfield runner?

I'm not sure I understand you. The through ball for the goal was for Isidor. For him to be central hes our biggest creative outlet, you then have to have runners beyond him.

Ah right, he's not scared, he's just not brave enough

Would like us to play one of our best players in his actual position for once

This for me

 

[Mickdundee]

Hume has been so harshly done to.

I’d have him in on Friday, even if Alderete is fit. Reinildo struggled today and Hume coming on changed the game.

 

[Mackem DJ]

Ah right, he's not scared, he's just not brave enough

Take some balls to drop the record signing and he wont do it.

Every week the blokes our worst player almost, you can’t deny it.

 

[Sundermad1987]

Pissed off with that missed chance but we go again Friday. Think the O’Nien experiment needs to end. Not good enough at all.

But as for the team, providing no injuries (Alderete & Reinildo) and with Angulo & Traore expected back…

Roefs
Mukiele Ballard Alderete Reinildo
Xhaka
Diarra Sadiki
Talbi Brobbey Le Fee

Subs: Hume, Cirkin, Ellborg, Geertruida, Rigg, Angulo, Traore, Mayenda & Isidor

2 points off 6th and we play first! Let’s do this!​

No way Diarra can start, not even just the chip he was awful

 

[Dibble]

Looks a tricky game. Forest unbeaten in 5 now, hammered Burnley and Spurs and drew with city, fulham and villa.

 

[Morny]

Take some balls to drop the record signing and he wont do it.

I'm not his biggest fan, but *maybes* our most successful manager in years has a different opinion?

Despite this forum spending most of the last 12 months insisting RLB hasn't got a clue, he's proven that he quite clearly is smart as fuck.

So, is it possible that he is picking him because he thinks he gives us the best chance of a result?

Or is it just cos he's scared to drop him

 

[poolie]

Be surprised if Regis drops him.

If everyone is fit and firing Le Fee replaces him in the middle. Traore on the right and Angulo/Talbi on the left.

Think this is a game too soon for that though.

 

[The Cabbage]

RLB seems allergic to playing Gerty

Said the other day that it was about getting Nordi’s attacking threat given Geerty isn’t much of a threat. After today I’d quite like to see Mukiele playing centre half to stop him f***ing off up top
