Arrogant Set Piece Keith's Colony of Cockneys vs Sexy Tindall's 6 Foot + Emerald Green Monsters

[wykikitoon 28509]

IMO We need to give Miley a chance. 

[Gemmill 63116]

He's not an imposing figure who puts himself about though. Which is what Howe wanted vs Brentford because of their set piece threat.

 

Miley being 1 inch taller than Joelinton isn't a winning argument vs the above. 

[Holden McGroin 9890]

I never really said it was. I understand why he was chosen. Its the same reason I understand why Burn was kept on.

Must just have been an unfortunate moment to bring up the height difference seemingly apropos of nothing then.

 

[Ayatollah Hermione 17238]

Joelinton isn’t even good at the physical side of things anymore and if he plays too often, his body just breaks down. Miley’s ability to keep the ball would be useful atm since it’s like a hot potato when we’ve got it recently 

[Holden McGroin 9890]

I said I can understand why Howe chose him  but I don't think it would make that much of a difference as Miley is hardly a dwarf. 

 

Plus, Howe definitely prefers Joelinton as a starter as well regardless of set pieces.

[Gemmill 63116]

I don't think Joelinton has warranted getting back into the side after Spurs in the Carabao. He needs a break and some of the other lads need a run of games.

I don't think the two are comparable. Burn was having a shocker and at half time a card of some description was only a matter of time. Multiple opportunities to avoid us going down to 10 and him getting a suspension were overlooked. 

As someone on here at the time said, the referee made the decision for Howe.

Him and Gordon clearly need time to recuperate from whatever it is they have going on.

That was clearly Howes thinking though.

[wykikitoon 28509]

So we should stick with Joe despite him being uber shit because he give's FKs away?

IMO Joe is and has been carrying an injury for time.

Well, here's a point. If Eddie Howe's thinking is to play Joelinton because he's good in defending set-piece situations, yet Joelinton is the one that, for a high percentage of the set-pieces, is the one that gives them away, is that not a bit paradoxical?

Dougception.

You could look at almost any player, situation or area right now and say that it isn't working. Difficult to pick any one thing but I'd start with Ramsdale, Hall and Ramsey coming in. For the rest you just have to hope Eddie and the players find a way fixing the lack of confidence all around, which even CL performances don't seem to be helping with.

Don't know about body breaking down but a huge direct kick to the shin is a pretty good way to "legally" slow an opposing player down.

 

Miley should absolutely be played more, he's a different player but certainly doesn't turn the ball over as frequently as 2025 Joelinton. It's also Miley's lack of pace and his inability to play in wide areas that sees Howe stick with Joelinton, and really Miley has to compete with Bruno and Tonali for a spot.

Listened to.Spaniel on the bus this morning 

 Quite a decent listen and some good points. 

[wykikitoon 28509]

Id like to know the view from @strawbregarding Pope. Why has he suddenly started punching so much? 

[strawb 5422]

Be coaching instruction, against a team who rely on set pieces.

Of course it fucking follows. You were talking about Eddie Howe playing (tired) players with better quality over young, exuberant, perhaps less talented players, and I was simply pointing out that Joelinton has certainly not looked some kind of massive talent over the last few games. So yes, it is relevant.

It's not though, because I'm saying that Howe is relying on players who have shown to have better quality over his time at the club. So the last few games (where everybody has been poor) isn't what he's basing his choice on, clearly.
