Rodders Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 well in theory it looks like a good side. pity the game isn't played on paper - but heyho, here we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hourihane should have been played against Cardiff. Glad De Laet is back. Not a fan of Bjarnason but hope he can do more in a forward role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Two games in and he's still changing the team. Desperate man, doesn't have a clue what he's doing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take cm for example. First game of the season Bacuna starts over hourihane. 3rd game of the season hourihane is in and Bacuna is on the bench of the opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I like the line-up. Only question mark for me is Birkir, but he might allow RDL to push forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what he meant by we aren't ready to play with 2 strikers? We will play people who aren't strikers upfront. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 15, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 15, 2017 Unless Green plays out left I guess, but then who plays out right? Hourihane? Maybe Onomah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 He has to change it up after Saturdays performance but it do come across a little bit as a manager who don't believe in what he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Solid team. Glad Bruce dropped Hutton at least, and is playing Hourihane. Getting it to work on the pitch is another story of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 15, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 15, 2017 It's difficult to see exactly how that front six will line up. It's an interesting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming green right and Bjarnason left. Green played on the right in pre season if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hoping hourihane plays as far forward as Lansbury did against Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green pretty much always plays the LW spot, but so does Birkir. I assume Bruce is moving Birkir (the utility guy) to the RW spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall it - but if he does it makes the selection a bit clearer - I think Bjarnason is a slightly negative choice and I'd have gone with Adomah down the right and Green down the left - but tonight will be a tough one and I guess he's gone for solidity first.
