TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) How long are Dowell and Hernandez out injured? I want to see both of those in the side. Given up on us ever seeing Cantwell. Edited November 21, 2020 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,492 Posted November 21, 2020 8 minutes ago, wcorkcanary said: Starting to look more like that as the game goes on. Agreed. But overall we have had 58% of the possession but half the number of dangerous attacks. Our main issue, Hugill's control aside has been that Rupp and Stiepermann have just not found their game. Pukki and a midfield change for me for some time very soon in the second half. It's been hard to get out of second gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a lot of respect for young English players who go overseas to get the football they need... Akpom left Arsenal and went and played a couple of seasons in Greece. won the League and Cup double! I do understand if we felt we couldn't afford Toney (although what a bargain he was for Brentford!) but discounting Toney and I think Middlesbrough have got the bargain of the season up front.

I don't think Idah is ready anyway, although of course would be handy to have him fit if Hugill is now out of action! But Placheta seems reluctant to run at defenders, still needs to grow in confidence, and there's been a few times when that's been called for today. Hugill got more chance of service if somebody can get past a full back and whip a cross in, Placheta did that late in the half but a fair bit of passing backwards from him.

A worry that we have no viable alternative until Jan at the earliest. Indeed, much as people can try and slate Pukki for not getting as many as he used to he's still easily one of the best players when it comes to making runs and reading the game, often making runs before a player has even passed it- Nevermind his tracking back and defensive habbits too And we don't really have any other strikers that do that kind of work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
