Could have used him today.

Could have used him today.

We didn’t learn anything without him for sure

 

[M23 Citizen]

Could have used him today.

Aye.

Looks a really active player. Excellent presser. Wants the ball. Covers the ground well.

Wouldn’t do any less than some of our starting midfield of late.

Should have used him today.

Fixed.

I know Pep is stubborn as a mule, and sometimes loyal to the senior players to a fault, but we need some fresh legs in the middle of the park. Particularly when we lose the ball, neither Bernie or Gundo (or Kev assuming he plays against Brighton) have the legs to track back.

So I’m hoping against hope that he bites the bullet and plays either Jacob or Nico against Brighton. They certainly will give us youthful tenacity in midfield.

I agree, but can’t see it happening. When it comes to young players it’s almost impossible in the league

Can we give him a chance in midfield please

 

[skillman]

Can we give him a chance in midfield please

Was just thinking this.

A youngster with energy, bite and eagerness to impress. Rather than being another player in the 90 minute rondo that the others are happy to do.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

With more injuries maybe we could give him a chance. We have young players who could be good enough to step up

 

[Haaland94]

Give him a chance to play DM for us. Tuesday, please.
