[Albion] Missing Midfield - The POLL

[Guinness Boy]

Three different rumours on social media about Baleba and Ayari missing. Where’s your money at?

 

[mothy]

If he dropped them for disciplinary reasons- he got it wrong

Surely that would depend on the reasons

I really hope it was not disciplinary but my money is on sickness.

 

[Krafty]

Because Hurzeler wanted to put Rutter in midfield instead of Gomez and O'Riley. Manager's fault.

Don't know how they collate these though.

I fear disciplinary. It’s odd.

 

[Mancgull]

If it’s disciplinary then it’s becoming a common theme. Lack of respect for Ted Lasso?

 

[portlock seagull]

Drinking. In Las Vegas. It’s obvious! Probably spent all the cup final money in the casino too.

 

[mothy]

Surely that would depend on the reasons

No. There's better ways to punish them. Rather than punishing all of us as well

 

[Eeyore]

Three different rumours on social media ?

Well, we can completely discount those as usual, especially as at least two are wrong.

Unless... they went out drinking, fell over and hurt themselves, and then had a big hangover today.

Can I vote for all three ?

 

[Brian Munich]

Find it hard to believe that 2 young players with good fitness records both picked up unspecified minor muscle injuries during tre time between the press conference and today.

What about head turned due to a transfer bid?

 

[macbeth]

disciplinary. to lose both starting midfielders to injury at the same time is improbable, even for us. obviously the conclusions with that are more concerning, as it suggests quite a bit of disharmony in the squad if true

 

[hart's shirt]

"To lose one midfielder, Mr Hurzeler, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."

If it is disicpline then he has lost the dressing room , you can’t keep leaving your best players out

 

[El Turi]

I haven’t seen the disciplinary rumours. What’s been said?

 

[Westdene Seagull]

There is a 4th option - the manager has no fvcking clue to what he's doing.

 

[sydney]

I just wanna go back to work tomorrow now .....this is demoralising.

I'll just say that this time two years ago we had Trossard throwing a wobbly, Caicedo being kept out of training whilst he agitated for a move and Sanchez benched and falling out with the manager. In all these cases of squad disharmony we backed our newly-appointed manager (with an identical record of 34 points from his first 23 games in charge) and not the player.

But now, with our next new manager, and with nothing other than unsubstantiated rumour of unrest, we instead place the finger of blame for alleged squad disharmony on him. All part of the intense character assassination we are seeing.
