BOF Posted September 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 18, 2015 Gil is a big blow. Was hoping Gana would be back too but I'm happy if Veretout comes in. Adama hasn't been involved enough yet to say he'll be missed and I wasn't expecting him to be back. Still think we'll have enough though. It's in their DNA to sit back unless Morrison or Brunt have one of their biannual stormers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 We could do with three points - there are some tough games to come and we might be in an ugly position in a few weeks time if we're not careful.We're certainly capable of getting them, but whether or not we do is a mystery to me - we're very hard to predict. We miss Traore - which is odd for a player who has never played 90 minutes. I dunno - if I was offered the draw right now, I'd say no. Agree.We need the 3 points here with the fixtures coming up.

Gary Thomas Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Gil is a big blow.Is he definitely out? Thought he was 50:50? same with Gana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 18, 2015 Gana is a bigger blow than Gil I think.That said, it means we're without our first two choices down the right and I'm not sure how we overcome that.We're fine down the left with Gabby, Sinclair, Ayew or Grealish - but we've got less options down the right hand side.Gana is problem because we're short of central midfielders - we have Gana, Sanchez, Westwood and Veretout and if we've injuries in the front line we need to play three of those.I wouldn't want us to have to change the formation to play a 4-3-1-2 because we don't have a right sided attacking player and in doing so not have a viable replacement for any of the 3 in that formation on the bench.

Gary Thomas Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Sherwood said Gana was training and they were going to asses him - he was a possibility. Do you know Gana is out or are you just speculating? Just interested to know.Sherwood also talked about rotation with the two games coming up, so would not be surprised to see some changes - Clark, Crespo, Veretout, Ilori.

rubberman Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 1-0 Scrappy win by a Lescott header. The former player things gonna happen when Liverpool play us so we need to dole it out now as we aren't playing many ligue 1 sides for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 3 points would be grand. Looking at the table we are level on points with Chelsea and Stoke, 2pts behind Tottenham and Southampton and 3pts behind Liverpool. Bet most would have taken that at the start of the season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hope people don't mind me posting this here but I thought some might like to hear what Pulis had to say - know they enemy an all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Adama hasn't been involved enough yet to say he'll be missed except score twice in two appearances?i get what you mean though, i just wonder if we'll ever see Gil, Grealish and Traore all available at the same time?

NoelVilla Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 We really need a win here. A bad result here going in to the game against the SHA and maybe lose that to then all positives from the summer will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arj Guy Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Maybe Lescott has been able to give Sherwood a few hints about Pulis' tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villastine Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Want to see Clark and Hutton for Lescott and Bacuna. Not sure what our options are in elsewhere. Are Gana, Gil and Traore out? Illori a possibility for DM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 ...................Guzan (no viable alternative)Hutton.Richards.Lescott.Amavi (pretty much picks itself!)....Veretout.Westwood.Gueye (Sanchez to come on and pack out the midfield if we're defending a lead!).................Grealish (Gil and Traore injured so a lot on Jacks shoulders)............Gabby.Sinclair (Gabby should be up for a derby and Sinclair has a decent scoring record) Subs: Bunn, Clark, Bacuna, Sanchez, Ayew, Gestede, Kozak Going for a nervy 2-1 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
