If Jose got injured it would be good for us. We'd have Perch at right back and either a youth or someone out of position at left back... opponents would be so spoilt for choice and unsure as which side to exploit first we'd go up the other end and score a few dozen goals.
Agree with that, I also watched a 0-0 between Hamburg and Bayern Munich on ESPN which was probably the most entertaining goalless game I've seen in ages.
EDIT: wp Leighton Baines.
Tiote and Barton will need to be at the races. Parker and Noble is a very good central midfield, far better than the quality they don't have elsewhere. Obinna isn't bad either. I'd be tempted to start Shola and Carroll with RTaylor starting so he can cross into the box a lot... We all know Green is dodgy on crosses.
Were we as shit as this last season?
Away from home we were, particularly in the first few months of the season (Ipswich away excepted).
Feel sorry for Marvin Elliott tonight too, he's had fuck all off that Phil Mitchell lookalike ref.
