Harvey Elliott - Playing again.

Liverpool, a big club putting faith in a youngster in a big game playing in centre midfield. Imagine seeing that at Cardiff.

If Sam Bowen had made 41 starts for Blackburn last season I think he might get a start for us in a big game?

Not sure.

Tom Sang is 22 and trusted to play as a wing back, why can't we give him a go in the middle?

Who? Sam Bowen? If so I agree with you.

I expect us to blow hot and cold this season (some stellar performances with Moore, Giles, Murphy on fire; some frustrating flat and disjointed performances when we cough up points) but I do want to see youth players breaking in and keeping their places - and accept they will make mistakes and have to acclimatise.

Sang in midfield also looks a good option, although only if Ng gets back to the levels he hit last season (pre Covid) as RWB.

I'm not sure why you're asking who, when I've said Tom Sang already :thumbup:
I'd like to eventually see Bowen in midfield as well.

I thought you meant that if MM trusts Sang to play wing back, why not trust Bowen to play centre mid.

But I think we're on the same page with this. :thumbup:

Problem with that is that would require Mick to completely change the style of football and that is never going to happen.

Ah I see what you mean, probably the way I typed it, I meant he trusts sang to play at the back so why not trust him in the middle.
We need more. Composure in the middle.of the pitch.

No it wouldn't.

Good to see youngsters being given the chance to be in starting 11 at last . Just wish we played a bit more football

I hope that today was the end of Bacuna in attacking midfield and Colwill can get a run of games. He wasn't afraid to take players on and actually beat them with skill, something not many of our players fancy doing

You'd hope so. Colwill and Giles behind Moore sounds decent enough on paper.

I think he uses Bacuna there though as an extra man to drop into midfield, basically defensive minded negative approach.

Sam Bowen would give us more than ****ing Bacuna that’s for sure,

Might be just me but whilst I usually would applaud him at the time i thought what the **** are you doing trying to go 1v1 in an area of the pitch where if he lost the ball it would have been easy for Bristol to break
