Need some changes against Villa.

Tsimikas and Jones at a minimum. Possibly Gakpo and Nunez to start too, as we looked shattered by the end yesterday.

Thought Joyce mentioned Gakpo won't be available for Villa

Surprised kostas didn’t start yesterday

bwindlfc.bsky.social•89 days ago

Gakpo is injured

jamesmaggs.bsky.social•89 days ago

I genuinely thought Robbo was one of our better players yesterday. He got up and down the left side all game. Yes, he made mistakes but then so did every other player.
I am still not having it that Kostas is a better option than Robbo.
We missed Gakpo. Wouldn't start Nunez unless there are injuries.

rorygreenfield.bsky.social•89 days ago

It wasn’t a high bar, but the charging out of position twice almost broke me. He barely engaged his brain against Everton either.

Robbo been hot & cold, probably his 1st season of being so tbf...however I'd still start him and give him 60 mins as after what I witnessed Tsimikas do against Plymouth I'd rarely be wanting him in a red shirt for the remainder of the season as he's been far worse on numerous occasions.

rorygreenfield.bsky.social•89 days ago

Think you’re far too generous with Robbo mate. I get he’s been a great servant, but he’s been far more cold than hot for this season and last.

Tsimikas generally a safe pair of hands, but collective against Plymouth was woeful.

jamesmaggs.bsky.social•89 days ago

I don't mind Kostas as a back up but I just don't see him as being a safer bet than Robbo. Maybe I'm blinkered but I think a lot of the disrespect shown to Robbo is unfair. There was even a bloke on TAW saying that's an area we can improve. Robbo's one of the best left backs in the club's history.

Both of those last 2 sentences are true and it's not disrespectful to Robbo to say it, time catches up with everyone....except Mo Salah of course 😉

swanythared.bsky.social•88 days ago

Same mate.

swanythared.bsky.social•88 days ago

There have been clear reasons though mate. No pre season being the biggest factor. I'm just saying let's just see if it's still an ongoing issue come next season. Happy to hold my hands up if it is.

rorygreenfield.bsky.social•88 days ago

Fair enough. Robbo’s best day is obviously levels above Kostas, just think we need a starter for next season and use whoever remains far more sparsely.

If Cody is still out I'd love to see a Darwin-Chiesa-Salah front three, with Darwin and Fede regularly swapping positions.

Think we've become far too predictable in build-up on occasions.

red-ed-88.bsky.social•89 days ago

Gakpo and Jones will both start I should think.

fhlfc.bsky.social•89 days ago

Tsimikas should definitely start. Jones with Macca? Can’t see the front line changing tbh - we need Jota to get some rhythm

rorygreenfield.bsky.social•89 days ago

Jones for Mac in my opinion, as he looked shot.

fhlfc.bsky.social•89 days ago

I thought the same about grav 😂 - hopefully it’s just mental tiredness after the derby

rorygreenfield.bsky.social•89 days ago

True, it’s not ideal.
