If you think Lacey is going to be startng for us when Mbeumo and Amad leave, then you’re in for a rude shock.

Sesko is back soon, and we have Mount and Cunha still here.

It's hardly a rude shock is it?

And if your opinion doesn’t make sense I’ll question it thanks.

Agree to disagree then. Unless you know more that us or the manager?

Hahahaha, yeah, because our current manager is faultless and always makes impeccable decisions with subs. Thanks for the chuckle.

Except Martinez has been playing down the middle since he came on

I did mention that.

Fact is, Amorim wouldn't have started a back three of Mazraoui, Martinez and Shaw. He usually goes with height down the middle hence Heaven as I said before. Game was pretty much over when Martinez came on. Think it was more for game time than anything else.

I never said he should be starting when they’re gone. In the post before I specifically highlighted our lack of depth in attack and said “we might need to give him some minutes out of necessity”.

With Amad and Mbeumo gone all it would take is a couple of knocks to the likes of Mount or Cunha before that becomes a reality (bear in mind both have missed numerous games this season already with knocks). In that context giving him a short run out at the end of a game like this seems like sensible planning to me.

I mean, he’s not going to start as one of the 10s over Mount and Cunha.

Of course he's not, why would anyone be surprised.

I think Bruno playing 10 with Mainoo in CM is far more likely yet almost impossible.

We also have Zirkzee and Mainoo and even Bruno if needed. We’re hardly in desperation mode. He’ll get his chance when gets it, no one should be handed minutes just because you’re an academy player.

Believe it or not, enjoying a 4-1 win is not mutually exclusive to looking at the bigger picture regarding our upcoming run of games. We results results against other teams than Wolves.

Ironic that you mention the bigger picture :lol:

We’re still separately short of attacking players that can come on and offer something different, and him getting chances in the future doesn’t mean tonight wasn’t a great opportunity to give him a run out. Noone’s saying he should be given minutes just because he’s an academy player - I think it made sense to give him minutes tonight because it seemed like a perfect opportunity and he’s one of the only attacking options we have on the bench right now.

And when I asked you how it affected the bigger picture you wouldn’t answer and told me to move on :lol:

Now get Lacey on for Cunha

And yet another blaring mistake by Amorim, that was the game to bring him on!

Watch the whole of Cafe turn next week after we lose or draw to Bournemouth?

If Mainoo is pencilled in to start in CM at any point in the next 6 weeks, surely it would have been sensible to stick him in there with at least 30 mins left tonight. And even if he isn't, it STILL would have been sensible to give him a decent run out. But no. We got two highly unnecessary CB swapsies instead.

Can we not play like we did in the 2nd half more often? Literally night and day to what we served up in the 1st half & across 90 mins in both the Everton & West Ham games.

No, we can’t, because all of our other games are against much tougher opposition than Wolves.

My sincerest apologies, I didn't see palace were yet to play when I posted this.

We are all clear indeed. We will NOT go 4th.

Irrespective of your pedant stance we will go level on points with 5th place and anything else would not be acceptable.

Ha!

To be fair, if Cunha had scored the countless sure chances he had, we could have, indeed beaten them 11:1 and would have been 5th
