Good to see, was quite worried when he didnt play in the last U23 game.

 

[Mayonaise]

Would so love to see him back playing. He has such a long journey back to fitness - fingers so firmly crossed for him

I love that smile.

I hope so much that we’ll see Izquierdo circa 2018 again.

Lamptey on the right and Izquierdo on the left..........[emoji7][emoji7]

 

[Invicta]

Quite a few missing this week space on the bench for him hopefully.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Genuine question - could he play LWB? I think he’s more likely one of a front three but he’s at least as much of a LWB as Dan Burn is...

I think so.....he’s pretty good defensively (remember vividly his tackle on Antonio away at West Ham). With 3 CBs and licence to get forward he could be brilliant- with Lamptey on the other side the oppo would be shitting themselves.

 

[Badger Boy]

We should drop the 3 at the back system. I know it benefits White, Webster and Dunk and means Potter doesn't have to make a bold decision about which one to leave out. But surely he can see that the squad has too many good players not being used properly at the moment?

Ryan
Lamptey White Dunk Burn/March/Bernardo
Lallana Bissouma Alzate
Trossard Maupay Izquierdo

Is that not a team that would be incredibly exciting? Or Bissouma and Alzate sitting with any four of Lallana, Maupay, Welbeck, Trossard, Izquierdo, Jahanbakhsh, Gross, Mac Allister, Connolly.

I think he could do a job, remember his debut vs Watford when he tracked back a good 50 yards to deliver a great sliding tackle

might be a bit cautious in tackling coming back from injury.

I doubt he'll fit right back into the team ethos that seamlessly.

I love that smile.

Good to see he’s still smiling after all he’s been through

 

[Motogull]

He's a little teapot.

If this is the case, he cant and wont play regardless of position.

 

[zefarelly]

Is he still running? or has he conked out again?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Happy for the club to take their time.

These long term injuries are tough.

Danny Welbeck sustained an ankle injury on the 3rd November 2018 playing for Arsenal against Liverpool. He was out for almost a year and transferred to Watford in that time.

On the 19th October 2019, he sustained an injury against Spurs linked to his previous ankle injury having made only 5 Premier League appearances for Watford.

It was only at the end of June 2020 that Danny was able to play a whole match for Watford although he quickly established himself as their best post lockdown player.

Whilst Izquierdo has probably lost all his value to the club (we’d only be able to release him) for now, he would struggle to get into the first team. He is not essential like a Dunk, Lamptey or Bissouma. Happy for him to take his time and build up to 90min games with the U23s.

He played another 45 mins for the under 23's this week in the loss to Blackburn. He had a hand in the goal, and a few runs down the wing. I'd be surprised if we see him in the first team again, but if the club can get him fit then they may be able to recoup a small percentage of what as paid for him

Which player isn't? Some might be better at hiding it than others, but that caution's got to factored in earlydoors shirley

 

[chaileyjem]

Izquierdo absolutely could play wing back under Potter. He needs more options there and we're about to head into the packed Xmas fixture pile up. . Don't write him off - assuming the rightfully cautious return goes ok.
