FairWooney Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Pickford, Keane and Walcott once Digne takes Baines spot. Keane will lose his spot as well if we get 2 centre backs. I know we have some good young English players, just hoping they continue to get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickford didn’t even spring to mind until right before I sent. All I’m saying is we’ve got far more British players than any of the top 6 barring maybe Tottenham.

Haiku Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I wonder how much time will Walcott get with Bernard and Richarlison around. I can see him getting some time as a striker if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Potential XI is all very well but it'd be a lot of strangers on the pitch if we played them all Saturday, Silva needs to introduce them when they're a more cohesive unit. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomes and Zouma (if it gets completed) are injured. Bernard hasn’t had a pre-season. Mina has had only a bit of a pre-season. Only Richarlison and Digne are likely to be in the squad. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree Mike, I think we’ll be seeing a lot of Jags, Keane, Baines, Walcott, Schneiderlin, Gana and Davies. A lot of people seem to just forget they all exist. The big plus is if anyone wants to keep their place they need to really play well, if anyone wants to take their place they will have to show they are better. Healthy competition and hopefully a high standard. MikeO, Bailey and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healthy competition and hopefully a high standard. I'll be very disappointed if Baines has kept his place automatically. And Davies' spot is a bench spot, so I'm not sure why he's on the list when he's fighting for a first 11 spot himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Baines has been a consistent performer though, I can’t see the club just dropping him like that for an unknown. Though I would love to see Digne start and see what he’s got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Just now, patto said: Until Digne proves otherwise Baines is still the best option to be fair we havnt even seen Digne play dare I say he might disappoint Thought Baines tired a lot by the end as he did preseason. Struggles after about 70 mins mark. His tired legs played Raul on for the equaliser. Still a player in there but don't think he should be starting every week.

Vranny Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Take out the red card situation and I imagine Digne would’ve subbed in for Baines around 70-80 mins. I imagine that’s probably what will happen in our next game as we ease him into the fold. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show on the training pitch every day you should have that spot, and when you get it play well enough to win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Fat Sam today saying he would have won against Croatia. This is why I'm kind of made up Silva's hands were tied with not being able to introduce all of his signings, because he has already proven that with near enough the same team we have a manager who can play more attractive, attacking and clinical football with fat Sam's team. Even though the one signing scored the two goals you could see a different attitude in all the old players. Get out of that one you fat arrogant cunt.

Finn balor Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Good post mate. We played great considering the red card. I thought if we’d have gone in eleven v eleven at half time 0-1 we would have scored two or three. For the first time in a while you can see us giving teams a 3 or 4 nil drubbing Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
