Bruno

I think he’ll be out for our next 3 league games and his next game back will be the final.
Big Joe will now have to come into the middle and so Gordon should be involved more, earlier than was planned.
Isak and Maxi did nothing coming on tonight which is frustrating after seeing their impact in the last game.

Our starting line up should now be:
Isak/Gordon Wilson Almiron
Willock Joe Longstaff
Burn Botman Schar Trips
Pope.

Aye.

Think you're probably right.

Losing Bruno is going to be a massive bugger, could certainly cost us - particularly against Liverpool, when players minds will be shiftin to the game after that.

Funnily enough, I'd actually start Maxi. I think he needs the confidence that comes with starting a game and, if he does, I think we'll see the old ASM.

Oouff, consty final ticket that.

Exactly on the day we sold Shelvey, it all fell to pieces - it could cost us a top 4.

I couldnt care less if we win the plastic up.

I would love for us to win the cup. It would be an amazing achievement, a nice memory and a brilliant day/week for the supporters. We haven't won anything in a thousand years, so we definitely need to go for it (we are) and do all we can; both to win and enjoy it. I would love it for Eddie, too.

Selling Shelvey has nothing to do with this. He's actually not good enough for where we're at. Losing Bruno is a big negative, but I'm confident we can work it out, and like TopToon says, this is a chance for us to start involving Gordon sooner rather than later which is pretty exciting, if you ask me. Hopefully we can remain in the top 4, but that's going to be a big challenge all the way to the end of the season.

Still feels strange talking about Top 4 and having signed Gordon, as opposed to talking about relegation and having signed Shefki Kuqi.
