They went through a spell of missing sitters but then stopped creating as many chances so it evened out. I agree about Bissouma though, quality player. Is this some form of genetics that we have now introduced when discussing matters of football. markjazzbassist and patto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Oh my god that’s a desperate looking bench. First 11 I’m happy with, but Iwobi on the bench is our o my real option. Mina unfit?

Bailey Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 No Mina, Godfrey, Davies, James or Gbamin. The first 11 is still strong (CB aside) but lets hope we don't need to use the bench to change the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Basically we've not got a bench so will need to win this in 90 minutes with the same XI players that are starting the game - bar perhaps Iwobi. Two goalkeepers was fine when we could name about 67 substitutes during the pandemic, but doesn't make sense here. I guess it just shows how poor our depth is (and could be Benitez showing the board that too). Not convinced, but Rafa has given me no reason to doubt him so far.

As you said, he’s just 19. Our 28 year old, england capped centre back should be standing up and taking on the mantle. Not the kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 that bench is scarily weak! Brighton are on decent bit of form, so if we grab a point today - I will be quite happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I like the intent behind the starting line up. Can see what we are trying to do there. Needs to work because, as you all say, that bench ain't getting us out of shit if it's needed. And, yeah, Godfrey? Has he a niggle or something? Most impressive player for me last year.
