It has to be about monitoring and taking the load off a player who is at risk, you'd think. Even the Wilson injury wasn't really a hamstring pull, we sent him for a scan which probably avoided a worse event later.

I don’t think I would leave a £300k a week job for any reason at all TBH.

Yeah same, first three were excellent but dropped off badly now. Think the Arsenal lads are possibly a bit overrated in terms of point potential, might just keep Odegaard and get rid of Martinelli and Jesus. See how things pan out. Picking a striker might get really hard once the CL starts, don't even know if Haaland will play all the PL games.

Anderson and Barkley are about the same level now I reckon. Would prefer to just play Ando.

Definitely potential for Miggy to play there, guess the worry would be if he runs around too much and doesn't provide enough structure. Wouldn't be against trying it if we don't sign a CM.

Doesn't make sense to play him wide so we can keep playing Wood. You also lose the work that Miggy does on the right. Guess if ASM is out he could potentially play left, but I'd still rather put Fraser in TBH.

Not sure he has that level of power.

He got paid to create it, much better.

Why would the clubs outside of the top few vote for stuff like this?

Cucurella and James are basically attackers TBF, problem is they can’t sort the back 3 to allow them to attack. Fofana is the key signing.

Interesting selection.

Expunge that post please mods.

They badly need Fofana in and James out to wing back. Can’t believe I went for Toney instead of Mitro.

Hyphenation is working class now.

That would be the biggest impact signing for sure IMO. As much as Miggy is average, he can contribute with Isak and Bruno moving defenders around and threading balls though.

If that's the lineup I'd be tempted to rest Trippier as well

In the medium term we need to be planning for Isak to be our main forward and build everything else around that. Wilson might even become backup fairly quickly.

I never believed we'd sign him TBH, but admittedly that's not based on a hell of a lot.

Did he?

Doubt they allow scousers to get to senior positions in the civil service.

Bournemouth will probably go down either way, so I guess they may as well make a change to someone who's not so frustrated or where there's not so much conflict with their strategy.

It's a shame about Bruno because midfield is their biggest weakness. Also if ASM isn't available to make Alexander-Arnold defend a bit more. Diaz looks in top form so that could be a worry for whichever RB we can field. Defeat but not by loads.

Can’t see us buying a RB when we have 3 on the books. It’ll take a fairly long time to get a squad good enough so we’re not affected by injuries to people like Bruno and Trippier. That’s just something we have to live with.

I thought Gerrard looked much better than Lampard when they both first started in the PL. Still probably is, but it's a low bar.

Kane is an absolutely twat so I want him to achieve as little as possible But I don’t really care if Al is top scorer or someone else, he’s a legend whatever.
